Dear Magic,

Is there any other way to get the Travel Clock 1.1

I don't have a computer and it's not on spie.com.

Thanks

Really a great tool, thank you Mike Phillips.  It was always the thing
on y ML that I needed on the road.

FYI, I had to use the "go to" in the storeroom locate package the first
time.

Regards,

C.

The AT&T PersonaLink song
by Dave Bushong

(sung to the tune of "Can't Smile Without You")

(do-do-do-doo, do-do-do-doo, do-do-doo-doo)

Dontcha know I can't connect without you,
Can't connect without you
Can't get my mail
I can't even "sproing"
I'm findin' it hard to really get going
you see I'm offline when you're offline,
Online when you're online
It's PersonaLink
I don't have to think
I just hit send

Now some people say
when you go away,
they'll find another provider
But the number won't be
800 toll-free
in New Hamp-shirrrrrrrre

You see I can't connect without you
Can't connect without you
Can't get my mail
I can't even "sproing"
I just can't mail
without youuuuuuuuu!

Subject: not fair

I have to say it again. This deal with Personalink really stinks. It
was real simple. It was what these units were built around. I still
feel we are like sheep going to the slaughter. PrestoMail is being held
out like a carrot. PrestoMail ain't what we bought these units to run.
BTW, its August 18th and I have not received my coupon copy. In twelve
days my Links become paperweights.

If you are an Envoy owner and you really want to get depressed, read
the Personalink Wireless Manual that was issued with the upgrade. It
was just what we waited for. It had true vision.

Maybe I shouldn't complain. Just should be grateful to be on the
cutting edge.

Because of the time and money spent on the platform, I am sticking with
it. I guess the powers at be know this about us so....

One more vent. I used MCW since day one. It is tied into our system. In
12 days its no good. ATTPLS was only option. It would of been great to
have been able to use MCW 2.0 but the 100 beta copies are all gone I
guess. How did they not think to make 2.0 available to the original
beta users who would have something at stake already. So on the 31st we
are out of luck again.

Sorry so long.

  I just wanted to remind everyone that the Magic Cap for Windows
software offered to the public was a free, *pre-release* beta version,
and should be regarded as such.  Basically its intention was to garner
user feedback on its functionality, and is unfinished by nature.  It
would be wise not to integrate it into a long term system that could be
disrupted by bugs, unimplemented features or feature changes until the
finalized retail version is released to the public.  Because the first
beta version was made publicly available for several months via the net,
there is no way to tell who was and who wasn't using it.  The choice to
release 2.0 in limited fashion was made in part to speed up the testing
process; it is expected that this 2.0 beta will become obsolete quickly
as progress is made and another version is released.  Keep an eye out
for the next announcement from the MCWBeta team for details, and as
always, thanks to everyone helping General Magic to make the most of the
MCW software package! :)
