is it all right to post a MS word document
attachment to the group? about 16k in file size.

Yep, should light a decent fire under the worst of the wowsers.

it was for the serviceman pages.

Pretty much. But the point was, they didn't know whether I was 14 or
140.

Maybe, thats still no excuse though. 14 or not, I was still a

customer.

**Geez. Give 'em a break. If they're anything like me, what with a couple of
hundred bits of spam to sort through each day, it is very easy to overlook
one message.

The attachment contains a list of IC, because I think the "fault

[Eric]

What may of happened was

I sent a list off to Paul Anderson at ikon_images@techie.com
For his fault CDROM that WES components sell.

Paul stuck a ####### stupid table around the list (in individual IC), I
took the table off with Open Office added in a bit more data and sent the
list in to Silicon Chip, Silicon Chip think that all this was put together
by Paul. Since I have taken the ####### stupid table off I have made the
list go from 3/4 to just over 2 pages, Silicon Chip only got one page.

I am sure if Silicon Chip rang Paul all would be explained.

If it doesn't include pictures or the like, then cut and paste it as

Really? say one minute to read and reply to an e-mail - that's 10
hours non-stop - what a life!

Whenever I have been stuck on a project, Leo always is very helpful I find.
I'd say give them more time or send another email.

I would have to agree.
I've sent 2 emails and both were answered within a day or 2.
I'd like to know what other magazine with a similar content you suggest
we buy ??...one from the UK which is probably last months issue and costs
3 times more ?
As far as I know there isn't anything else available in Australia.
