Taylor,

    I gave Lee Einer a call to see what exactly was going here, and he
    graciously e-mailed me what he had received. 

    <edit> 

          Email quote removed. Reason - confirmed spam
          Hanuman

   </edit> 

    Having read this several times, I personally did not see a spam
    scenario what so ever, in my opinion it seems like a genuine plea for
    help. Just to be sure, I have inquires in with both France and Italy
    offices to clarify that she is not part of the 3Design Express
    solution. My understanding from directives that we have received, is
    that all resellers worldwide are to sell 3Design Jewel  which is the
    full version, and that 3Design Express sales are handled solely by
    corporate and directly out of France, and handled by Emilie Bonneton. 

    Emilie has posted here and in a professional manner in my opinion,
    and in addition her E-mail address states that she is indeed from
    Type3. I have to agree that un-solicited e-mail regarding products
    are a pain, and I am one of the first to get out of joint when CAD
    companies send me stuff that I did not request. Unfortunately, there
    is little we can do regarding unethical ways individuals push their
    product especially in an uncontrolled environment such as the net. 

    The reason I got involved with Vision Numeric and not solely based
    on how I feel about a great line of products, but more importantly in
    how they conduct themselves in the business world. That was more
    important to me than all the tea in China. Another reason was the
    fact that the Type3 suite of solutions is modular. This in my opinion
    is very important, in that you can start with a basic package and
    keep adding as much power as you need as time goes by. In addition,
    it really impressed me in that when you upgraded your solution to the
    next level, you are not being penalized for not buying everything you
    need upfront. You merely pay the difference between lets say a basic
    solution and the full version. I have customers who started with Type
    Edit which is the CAD portion and did all their drawings. Then they
    purchased Type Art to move into the 3D environment. Same with
    machining. Many started out with a 2.5D machining solution before
    upgrading to full 3D machining. It is a very professional Company,
    and in my experience they do things the right way. 

    Regarding the comment which you made :-  if anyone from 3Design are
    on this list they should take a look at how to influence a buyer, by
    arming them with quality information. ;-) 

    I firmly believe the program will speak for itself, and requires no
    defense, influential literature, or ammunition from me. Have you
    tried it?....:-) 

Best Regards.
