[HOE] Re: [DL] Quality of Downloaded books (SHANE&PEG Folk)

["Jeffery Yates" <jyates@qlinktech.com>]

Wish I had waited for you to post this -- now it's my turn to type "Its
funny you say that..."

I had pretty much the same experience you did.  I bought the Epitaph and the
Rain O' Terror adventure.  I was able to download the Epitaph.  Apparently
the adventures aren't on their server, or at least aren't correctly linked
via the storefront software.

So I also have paid $9 for $5 worth of stuff.  Better than the other poster
that only got something like $7 out of $43 paid.

This thread has been tagged SHANE for a while.  I hope he's still looking at
it, and that Cybergames gives him some good info so he can pass it to us.
We fans are still supporting PEG as best we can, it just seems that
Cybergames is thwarting all our efforts to buy PEG material ;-)
