| It was Fedex. | |
| prezbedard 2003-08-26, 11:31 am |

Looks like I will not be recieving any books. It seems that the offer is over and they don't have any left or something else to that effect. So that may be true for others who haven't recieved them yet as well. | |

We all basically did this on the same day and that "We're sorry page" did come about until like 4 days later. | |

| Ya cisco called me. I was surprised at that. | |
| Deja-vue 2003-09-24, 7:57 pm |
| Cisco never called me.
probably because i gave them ruscorp's phone #.
| |
| rnrkenzie 2003-09-24, 11:13 pm |

| prezbedard 2003-09-25, 10:20 am |
| They ask me if they could offer any assistance with projects I was planning. I told them the books were for research and educational purposes. | |

That would be funny. Could you imagine one of these guys doing that. Getting dragged out of the store, with their pencil protector hanging out of their shirt pocket, black rimmed glasses all crooked, fighting with the cop, and screaming & crying, "But Cisco said they were free. Cisco said they were free!!!" | |

That is so true. I longer trust Cisco. Surprisingly enough, Microsoft has never done that to me and I get a lot of free stuff from them.
