I got the ratings disk today, and I'm as happy as a school kid with his new birthday presents. Unfortunately I haven't bought a computer with a 3.5" disk drive since I WAS a kid*, and the ratings disk still arrives on 3.5" disk. Now I have to hunt down an old computer with a 3.5" disk drive.

Every year it is sillier and sillier that Strat-O-Matic still mails out ratings on 3.5" disks.

Glenn.. Glenn...Glenn... you have to rub it in that you got your disk already and that we poor saps are still waiting, huh?

....however... I have an external floppy drive I'll use when mine arrives :P

na, na, na, na , na, naaaaaaaa!!!

LOL!

Always fun to poke fun Glenn, you know it's all in good cheer.

Yes, I emailed them yesterady with a copy of my recepit e-mail from the order and they sent me the data as a zip file attachment.

No apology or even any comment in their email, just a blank with their attachment.

I found an old computer at work with a 3.5" floppy disk drive. The thing worked fine.

Yeah, it certainly would be much easier for them to email you the zip folder, or mail a CD instead of a floppy.

Maybe next year.

I posted this response in PM to a fellow board member, but I thought I should share:


[i:f83dff6cfa]Nothing in their email by way of an apology or expanation, just a blank e-mail with the attachment.
That's probably how they should send it to begin with, but what do I know. Maybe it's more cost effective to send out a bunch of defective, outdated hardware and waste man hours correcting the problem answering emails and sending them out to disgruntled customers.[/i:f83dff6cfa]:roll:

Your sarcasm detector should have just exploded. :wink: :D

I got mine today!!! :)

Disk worked flawlessly... ahh! the memories it brought that little floppy :lol:
