receive any more CDs or charges from Think All Publishing.

I am sorry that you are not happy. When you placed the order, you checked the

done so, you can return CDs to:

General Software Discussion / A Warning about Thinkall.com
« on: January 11, 2006, 06:37 PM »
I wanted to see what the 'other-guys' were offering when I saw their Free OpenOffice.org discs adverts every time I saw one of mine. 

So I pop up to thinkall.com and order my 'free' discs for the $5 shipping fee. 

About 30 days later there was a $40 charge on my card. 

Buried at point 7 in the TOS is that if you don't return the 'free' discs within 10 days you'll get their monthly subscription fee.  And when I returned the discs after the 10 day period they did not refund your money. 

Though I'm out the money, at least I can write it off as a business expense on my taxes. 

So please avoid Thinkall.com

There are even more than that... One I saw missing from his list was http://www.dropload.com/  Though I liked the first 2gig one in his list

Mini-Reviews by Members / Anyone want a Disc to review?
« on: December 30, 2005, 03:39 PM »
I would like to make a limited Number of Discs available to the DonatonCoder Members for review. 

Here's how it will work...
1.  Go to http://on-disk.com/index.php/cPath/84 and look over the items our Developers are offering
2.  Email me with the Contact form at http://on-disk.com/contact_us.php and let me know what you're intrested in. 
3.  If it hasn't been 'claimed' for review, I'll email to get your details so I can ship you the disc - Even internationally. 

All I ask in return is that you write a review. Either post it here and link back to the product you're talking about, or use the built-in Review function at On-Disk.com (right hand side once you've clicked on a product)

I will be limiting this to a total of 5 discs.  One Disc per reviewer,  One Reviewer per Disc.

once you've gotten your disc put it through it's paces and let us all know what you think.  The good the bad or the ugly.  to me, as long as the review is honest and well written (such as no IM short-cuts), it can't be all that bad.

Well it would always depend on where your machine is 'broken' as to how easy it is to fix it.  But if you're looking to build a system for limited functions anyway, you may as well go FOSS and save some cash on the OS.  If all you're looking to do is make an access point terminal, most people wouldn't care if their browser isn't IE if all they are doing is clicking around in the first place - ya know?
