Hi, Yardbird. Two thoughts.First, although you want the discs to install the voices, I strongly recommend that you download the main program from the FS website because it has already been updated to solve some of the problems users reported early on. My disc isn't the latest version, and I doubt they're shipping it out now. Who knows, maybe I underestimate FS.
Second, FS has been mailing the discs in a fold-out container held together only by scotch tape. A couple of listers reported that theirs arrived with the tape torn. I'd thought about that when mine showed up. I've wondered if this flimsy shipment method has caused some packages to be damaged and made the Post Office reluctant to deliver them in that condition. Pure speculation.

hi Curtis,You may remember me from the LG phone list. I'm still using the phone with great ease and comfort thanks to what I learned on that list, including yourhelpful contributions.Anyway, just to chime in on this: I've had to call Freedom Scientific Salestwice by now. The first time was about three weeks ago, when a lot of people on this list, including a few in Southern California, where I livetoo, said they'd gotten their stuff. The fellow I spoke with, who said hisname was Charlie, told me it should have been here already, and said he'd write an order for another package to be sent to me, immediately.But as of yesterday, still nothing had come. So I called Freedom Scientificagain, and a woman, whose name I forgot because I was not so even-temperedthis time, looked at my file and told me that it said I'd been sent anothercopy back then, which of course I explained I hadn't received, and shepromised to have a third one sent immediately. She obviously was completelyat a loss for an explanation, and resorted to saying lame things like, "Well, you know, it's the holiday season and everything," to which I just said, "Look, is this stuff going out Forth Class?" No, she said; she was sure it was being sent First Class. Well, I said, this has nothing to do with holiday season. So she wondered if my address information was wrong. No, no, same address all these years of using Jaws, since V. 3.7. anyway, still waiting. For anyone who's itching to say I should justdownload it, 1. I don't feel like bothering with the codes and stuff, and 2.I want to install those new voices at the same time, following the instructions.So, let's see what happens. Meantime, the FS invitation to renew my SMA gotto me very efficiently in the mail. Ironically. Go figure.----- Original Message ----- From: "Curtis Delzer" <curtis@xxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 11:44 AM Subject: RE: Jaws cd's Not received in Southern California, and this is the nineteenth of December, 2006.
