Hi All, Just a quick question, how many of you have been to the http://www.melco.com/index.cfm and signed up to receive the news letter, or how many have read through the information contained in the form of a FAQ on both Design Shop and Amaya? Also, at http://feedback.melco.com is a Feedback form. Use this form to send suggestions and comments on improvements. This entire thread would go real well as a feedback and what would be good for both you (the customer) and Melco.
