This `CHECKOUT' BBS distributes software for the sole purpose
|
|||
|
|
of testing prior to purchase. You've 24 hours to try the software
|
|||
|
|
and determine that it is worth purchasing, then you must destroy
|
|||
|
|
it. The BBS Sysop feels that it is unfair to computer users
|
|||
|
|
that they are unable to evaluate software to see if it suits their
|
|||
|
|
needs. Many users have purchased products by the way the program
|
|||
|
|
'looks' on the box and have been extremely disappointed - and have
|
|||
|
|
therefore wasted their money and (more important) time. Nobody in
|
|||
|
|
their right mind would purchase a car without test driving it
|
|||
|
|
first, or for that matter...purchase clothes without trying
|
|||
|
|
them on, so how can software vendors expect users to buy one
|
|||
|
|
of their products without first testing it? They will send copies
|
|||
|
|
of their software to large corporations to test but seem to forget
|
|||
|
|
there are also other users in the market willing to purchase their
|
|||
|
|
product if it meets their needs. This is where this checkout BBS
|
|||
|
|
comes in. This program is for evaluation only, if you like this
|
|||
|
|
product then go to your local computer store and purchase it,
|
|||
|
|
otherwise PLEASE do not USE or in anyway DISTRIBUTE this product!
|
|||
|
|
There are many advantages to purchasing this product including:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<20><><EFBFBD> Technical Support: Software vendors set up technical support
|
|||
|
|
lines for the purpose of helping their
|
|||
|
|
registered users get the most out of the
|
|||
|
|
product and help with any bug concerns, etc.
|
|||
|
|
It is to your advantage to be able to use
|
|||
|
|
this (and the many features of the program).
|
|||
|
|
<20><><EFBFBD> Manuals: Manuals are a very important part of a
|
|||
|
|
software package. No book or text file can
|
|||
|
|
replace the original manuals, which come
|
|||
|
|
with the product. This enables the user to
|
|||
|
|
get the most out of the package, especially
|
|||
|
|
with the very complex programs of today.
|
|||
|
|
<20><><EFBFBD> Upgrades: With buying the original program, you are
|
|||
|
|
entitled to low priced or free upgrades to
|
|||
|
|
new versions, bug fixes, and 'enhancements'.
|
|||
|
|
<20><><EFBFBD> Legality: Using a program without owning a registered
|
|||
|
|
copy is illegal.
|
|||
|
|
<20><><EFBFBD> Control Of The When companies who create good products
|
|||
|
|
Industry: are supported, it reinforces the need for
|
|||
|
|
good products and helps the company continue
|
|||
|
|
to create more quality products. On the
|
|||
|
|
other hand, companies who create substandard
|
|||
|
|
products have two options; either improve
|
|||
|
|
their products or get out of the industry.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Until companies come up with a better way of allowing users to
|
|||
|
|
test their products before purchasing, 'checkout' BBSs will continue
|
|||
|
|
to make available products for your testing. Companies recently
|
|||
|
|
have started to head in this direction and you can now return some
|
|||
|
|
products to the company if you are not completely satisfied
|
|||
|
|
(Norton, and a few others), but this does not remedy the situation
|
|||
|
|
as the refund/credit takes a long time to get processed and is a BIG
|
|||
|
|
hassle! We feel that under the current software industry standards
|
|||
|
|
of doing business, that evaluating software releases prior to actual
|
|||
|
|
purchase is still the best solution.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<20> Remember... If you decide to use a product, you MUST buy it! <20>
