Update on my problems...my email was forwarded to a tech specialist at Melco (not Jeff) who called me less than an hour after I posted it! He was extremely helpful, went over what we had for current problem with the freezeup, and we had just taken the step of un installing the program and re installing it. I mentioned the other problems we had been experiencing, and he said YES, THEY WERE KNOWN BUGS...and the NEXT UPGRADE would be pretty much ALL bug fixes! So I haven't been making it up or causing it to happen...it is just the nature of the type of logos we work with that we run into these glitches where many people may not. I know I am not experienced with digitizing-I'm still a newbie after 1 1/2 years playing with it...but I said UP FRONT to the salesman that we would be pushing it to the limit...we were NOT a 'cookie cutter' graphic shop. And I 'bought into' his sales pitch that it would be 'plug and play' to get the Amaya....Yes, I was wrong-yes, I do not have the experience that the many of you brought with you when you bought an Amaya, but as a business owner (several in fact) for over 30 years, I fully EXPECT and DEMAND that for the money we pay, the COMPANY should stand behind their product! And if their SALES STAFF makes promises, they should know about it-and stand behind them-or get rid of them! Nor should any company get away with making promises time after time after time about 'release' date of an upgrade...or supplying it FREE as promised, then back track and deny it. Upset? YES, I have been...but that's the way I am....and it is how I treat MY customers-they GET what they paid for and MORE...and I stand by what I sell them or create for them even when not my fault. Guess that makes me obsolete...an honest businessman. But for John, at Melco....THANKS for responding instantly and honestly and walking me through this one problem...and not once saying 'operator error'... and for your offer to stay in touch and waiting to hear what develops next! THANK YOU....
