MyInfo 4 - nonexistent trial version?

Here is a copy of my post to the MI forum this morning that deals with Stephen’s question and my concerns about Share-It:
*********

Petko, I appreciated your efforts to accommodate people like me who couldn’t buy at noon yesterday.

But I am ticked off at Share-It.

First of all, they do not accept orders from Gmail, unlike just about everyone else in the world.

So I used my work account, and of course forgot the registration data at work last night.

I surfed to Share-It and could only find an order placed on my home account (not the Gmail account). Their site isn’t flexible.

I contacted Share-It through their “contact us” system that promises no more than “four steps”. Not very customer friendly. The four steps entail answering questions so they don’t have to bother sorting the email that comes in—but it is sometimes a pain in the butt to have to figure out which question is most suitable.

Of course I did not hear back from them right away with the reg data I had requested, having given them the work account to validate my right to what I was asking. So last night I did without MI4 pro.

So I decided to download the trial edition, which is indicated to be MI4.

But it is not. Share-It has not replaced MI3 with MI4 (Stephen Diamond has a note to that effect this am in http://www.outliner.software.com )

I also pointed out to Share-It that the pricing of MI4 does not reflect the fact that the Canadian dollar is higher by a few cents than the US dollar.

MI4 is $24.95 US and $27.09 Canadian. So in addition to paying $2.14 more, we are also paying an additional few percentage points on top of that—and that spells gouging. Canadians were taken advantage of in many ways when our dollar was less than the US dollar. Now that it is clearly more, it is time we got to benefit, especially on purely electronic transactions.

Petko, I wish you could find a more user friendly vendor—at least one that accepts Gmail. If Gmail is good enough for Amazon.com it should be good enough for Share-It.

Thanks.
