NOTICE / DISCLAIMER
The XTC BBS distributes software for the sole purpose of
testing it prior to purchase. You have 24 hours to try the
software and determine that it is worth purchasing, then
you must destroy it. The XTC BBS feels that it is unfair to
computer users that they are unable to evaluate software to
see if it suits their needs. Many users have purchased
products by the way the program looks on the box and have
been extremely disappointed with it and therefore have
wasted their hard earned money. Nobody in their right mind
would purchase a car without test driving it first, or for
that matter purchase clothes without trying them on, so how
can software vendors expect users to buy one of their
products without first testing it. They will send copies of
their software to large corporations to test but seem to
forget there are also other users in the market willing to
purchase their product if it meets their needs. This is
where The XTC BBS comes in. This program is for evaluation
only, if you like this product then go to your local
computer store and purchase it, otherwise please do NOT use
this product. On the otherside, The XTC BBS also feels it
is unfair to the software vendors for you to use their
product without owning the rights to it. There are many
advantages to purchasing the product including:
1 Technical Support: Software vendors set up technical
support lines for the purpose of helping their
registered users get the most out of the product and
help with any bug concerns, etc. It is to your advantage
to be able to use this.
2 Manuals: Manuals are a very important part of a software
package. No book or text file can replace the original
manuals, which come with the product. This enables the
user to get the most out of the package, especially
with the complex programs of today.
3 Upgrades: With buying the original program, you are
entitled to low priced or free upgrades to new versions
and bug fixes.
4 Legality: To use program without owning a registered
copy is illegal.
5 Control Of The Industry: When companies who create good
products are supported, it reinforces the need for
good products and helps the company continue to create
more quality products. On the other hand, companies who
create substandard products have two options either
improve their products or get out of the industry.
Until companies come up with a better way of allowing users
to test their products before purchasing, The XTC BBS will
continue to make available products for your testing.
Companies recently have started to head in this direction
and you now can return some products to the company if you
are not completely satisfied Norton, and a few others but
this does not remedy the situation as the money takes a long
time to be returned and is a lot of hassle, trying the
software first is still the best solution.
In summary, if you decide to use a product, you must buy it.
