STARFLEET SOFTWARE is a COMAPNY, we arev REGISTERED witht eh STATE of
ILLINOIS, and I do NOT NEED to JUSTIFY ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT!!

 Except to say thet YOU are a CROOK, CON ARTIST, ETC., in that you are
therefore selling land that you don't even OWN!!!!

 Okay people here is how this guy sees thingsa:

 ATR8000....$595.00 FIRM, that is REASONABLE.

 ATR8000....Original Cost $595, asking $125.00 or Best Offer - That is a
ridiculous OVERLY HIGH PRICE!!!

 And for yuore INFORMATION, the 1027 Printer is as the AD STATEAS NEAW
IN BOX!!!!

 A PIRATE is someonw who will NOT PAY for software, and wants everything
for FREE!!!

 I have written and produced the HIGHEST QUALITY SOFTWARE ever for the
Atari, and I sell one copy and fifty other people have it.....

 Gee, the ONLY person I KNOW who got rip[ped off, when was some KID in
New York went to a Software store in New Jersey that was going out of
business and bough on sale a $150.00 program for only $75.00, half
price, and the disk was defective.....

 So he demands I REPLACE IT!  Why should I?  The program is on a 5.25
inch floppy, with a professionally printed label, I boot the disk and am
greeted with:

 ATARI 835/1030 MODEM HANDLER HANDLER
 Copyright STARFLEET SOFTWARE Company

 Yes, he bought a $150.00 program marked down to $75.00 that I am the
ONLY LICENSED DISTRIBUTOR OF,a nd I sell for the EXTREMELY HIGH PRICE of
$25.00.....

 I did NOT sell this disk to him.  All I asked from him was the name
address and owners name of the store that sold it to him, and he went
into his DEFENSIVE GOD ALMIGHTY MODE, telling me I* SOLD HIM a defective
DISK!!!

 I SOLD HIM NOTHING!!!

 Who knows haw many copies at $150.00 this store sold....  I never got
paid one cent for all those copies, yet the thing has MY COPYRIGHTED
PROGRAM ON IT!!!

 That's the PROBLEM RIGHT THERE!!!

 YOU DO NOT BUY ANY OF STARFLEET SOFTWAREs software at any place, except
STARFLEET SOFTWARE Comapny!!!

 If anyone buys it at Joes Computyer Emporium, you are BUYING A PIRATED
COPY!!!

 I have NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, from New York, New Jersey, Ohio, and 3
places in California that say they bought my software and have been
ripped off....

 Gee, wish I'd have gotten paid for all those copies sold...

 Or why not tell about the GREAT Tony Dinapoli who SWEARS: "ALL of your
programs are CRAP, they don't work, and are worthless"....  I asked him,
and what program did you buy that didn't work?  His reply, I have NEVER
EVEN seen a program written by you, and because of your terrible
programming, I never will...

 Funny, then how can he make such claims??

 Does the Name Bill Wilkinson mean anything to anyone?  Bill Wilkinson
of Optimized Systems Software knows me, and when I had the ONLY
835/1030/XM301 handler that would work with Basic XE, and he was even
sent a copy and they verified it did work, that's hardly a condmnation,
when one of the companies that originally WROTE the ATARI OS and DOS,
praises ME for my WORK, that's hardly hat happens to people who don't
know how to program computers!!!

 Gee, of all the people who bought our SOFTWARE, even when they sold
their only copies to another user, the new user was so impressed, he
even ordered the other titles we had...

 Let's see, the Carina Fiasco, is that where I uploaded my
COPY-PROTECTED DEMO of one of my many products and one 'honest' person
spent over 2 weeks making it so it was no longer protected, then got the
code, saw how it worked, so he could completely reverse engineer it, and
produce ILLEGAL copies of it???
