BV> Bob lost interest when he found out that it required 128Mb of
BV> disk space and a CD-ROM to load it . Of course this was
BV> after I ordered and paid for his copy at the special price of
BV> $250. If you're interested I have _one_ only copy at that price.
BL>  Get it right, Brenton. You went ahead and decided I wanted Delphi
BL> after I told you *expressly* that I was only interested if I...
BL>          1.  Knew the price.
BL>          2.  Saw it first.
BL>  I don't think that was being unreasonable on my part.

Geezzz, he's gone right orf. Sorry 'bout that. You are correct, I
thought it best to order it on-spec as it was easier for me at the
time. If you wanted it, I already had it at the special price. If
you didn't want it it wasn't going to kill me to carry it for a while.
Shit, it's only $250. I _really_ don't have a hang-up about it.

At the time, I was expecting them to put me through the wringer when
trying to order "upgrades". As it turned out, that didn't happen. If
I had only picked up the two copies for Frank and myself and you
decided later that you would have liked a copy, it would have been a
real hassle. I would have had to place another order, get fucked
around by their sales department, drive out and pick it up, get
fucked around by their storeman etc.etc. That's why I did what I did.

BL>  Your comment offends me. It attacks my honour. You make me feel bad
BL> when I have done nothing. I did not order Delphi from you.

Whoops. Sorry. No offence was meant in any way. Honest.

BL>  I am sorry if "my" copy of Delphi is a problem to you, but it has
BL> nothing to do with me. Once I agree to something, I stick to it.

Relax Bob. It's _not_ a problem. If it was going to be a problem I
wouldn't have ordered it until instructed. Mind you, if you had
ordered it afterwards, I would have told you to fuck off.

BL> If I haven't agreed, no amount of pushing will get a result.
BL> So get stuffed.

You are a pig-headed old bugger aren't you ?
Are you waiting till next Thursday or sumfin ? :)

Cheers, Brenton
