MyInfo 4 - nonexistent trial version?

MI4 was made available yesterday to existing customers.

Share-It supposedly offers it as a trial, and has indicated as such on their site, but in fact haven’t changed the software from MI3 to 4,

That’s not the only beef I have with Share-It.

First of all, they won’t accept orders from a Gmail account. So much for being customer friendly.

I had to use a normal account so I was at work and used my work account when I paid.

I forgot to take the resulting registration info home so I emailed them last night to send me the data. They did not.

As a result I had no access last night to the new final MI4. I was pissed.

When just about everyone else in the world now accepts Gmail and its dots instead of underscores, I don’t see why Share-It can’t get with the program.

I had to use their “contact us” process which they promise is no more than four steps. Again, customer friendly. Not.

The process is one of those where you answer a whole bunch of questions so they don’t have to do their job of figuring out where the email belongs.

I also pointed out to them that they are charging $24.95 US and $27.09 Canadian, and that since the Canadian dollar is now worth more than the American that they are doing a little price gouging. $2.15 to start with, plust the four or five percent greater value of our dollar. We should be paying about $23 Canadian.

Canadians have long paid more than the exchange rate on many items, sometimes 10 percentage points or more—books are a good example, even those books printed in Canada and exported to the US.

I wrote to Petko at MI with me beefs about Share-It, and suggested he find another vendor.

By the way, I have used the MI4 beta, and there are a lot of good changes. No hoisting though.
