At 8:23 AM EDT on 4/17/97 we received a phone call
from Stephanie Clement, stating that she was calling in
an official capacity, representing Matrix Software. She
stated that attorneys from Alliance (AMG-the new owners
of Matrix) had just been at Matrix and had reviewed the
Software Recommendation Page on our web site and were not
pleased with what I said about the Matrix product and
customer support. The stated purpose of the call was to
advise me, that "should the Alliance legal staff
attempt to take some kind of legal action against {me},
it would be out of Michael Erlewine's hands as he no
longer owns the company". While I did not/do not
like, nor appreciate the implied and acknowledged threat
or intimidation, I don't particularly like the idea of
possibly being sued either. So, I've removed the
"offending" statements that used to be given
below. In fact, I've removed all software recommendations
for the moment. I'll leave you with the following pages: Wizard
and a note from Noel Tyl.
At 9:15 PM on 4/17/97, we received a personal
phone call from Michael Erlewine, during which we agreed
to "bury the hatchet" and move forward,
starting with the opening of the business day on 4/18/97.
We are looking forward to reviewing the newest release of
Blue*Star Plus and Win*Star Plus and to hearing about
improved technical support and customer service.
I do want to publicly state that I have the
utmost respect for Stephen Erlewine, both as an
astrologer and as a programmer. Unfortunately, he is but
one person.....
If you need help choosing
software, please feel free to contact us. Give us a call,
or send a note via email.This page will be getting
updated in the very near future. I've got new
information, comments, etc about the latest oppinions on
WinStar, Solar Maps, Solar Fire and some other
astrological shareware and freeware.
