Link is at bottom of page. It took 7-10 days to arrive.

USA and Canada only :(

Wendy,

Sorry.
That seems like discrimination. How much more could postage be ?
It cost them 60 cents to send mine. If they wanted to improve sales and customer relations, everyone should have access.

[MikeH]

Wendy,

:( :( :(

The link at the bottom of the Photoshop World webpage doesn't respond for me. Do you have to be a member of NAPP to get this free CD?

[MikeH]

Betty,

No... the only condition is that you live in the US or Canada ( :( ).

Do you have a pop-up blocker on your pc?

Mike

[richs]

Betty,

I filled out the same form at another site (I couldn't remember where) and at that time I wasn't a NAPP member. I already had a tablet, but filled out the questionaire as though I was interested.

[BettyC]

Thanks so much, Mike! That was the problem. Then when I was directed to the page with the form to fill out, I unblocked there, too, and the form came up. The pop-up blocker concept is a good one to know. Thank you!

[MikeH]

I wonder what it is about the UK market... most offers from the likes of Wacom and Adobe are US / Canada only. Sales of digital cameras in the UK now outstrip film by 15 to 1 and at least one UK High Street retailer has stopped selling film cameras.

You'd think that they'd be striving for a higher profile beyond trial software and demos as magazine freebies... :?

Mike,
The concept that corporations have the right to manage comes up periodically at work. The other side of the coin is that they can mismanage also. I think the marketing people need to learn how to think outside the box. Most large corporations are waking up to the fact that there is a world wide market out there and if they expect to grow need to address that issue. Too many are looking at short term profits.

[Pauline]

Thanks for the tip Rich. Just put my order in.

[willpresley]

I am looking forward to getting the CD...

[virgo1]

Placed an order also. Thank you Rich.

[Jodi Frye]

ok, I fess, I have no clue where you are even finding the order page...I see no link at the bottom of that page...I see the image of the disc and it says ' free CD' by Dave and Scott but nothing to click on....

[Wendy]

Jodi ...

Under the disc it should say "Click here"


... I wonder if your browser isn;t working with that site ?


Wendy

[willpresley]

When I look at it there is a "CLICK HERE" link that is available, don't know why you didn't get one too.

[Jodi Frye]

ya well ya got me stumped as I don't have the ' Click here ' option...anyways, does it cost anything... I mean shipping ?

[Wendy]

Jodi ...

[Jodi Frye]

Wendy, was ya tryin' to be funny ? There is no link.... :shock:

[Wendy]

Jodi ...

When I click on the link I posted I get to the order page.

What happens when you click on it?


Wendy

[Jodi Frye]

When, there is no link...the space in your post is empty ! :shock: Which is why I thought perhaps you were trying to be funny... :wink:

[Wendy]

Jodi ...

Sounds like there is something funny on your PC ... this is a screenshot of my post:

...there is no order form...anyways, thanks for your help Wendy....I guess I wasn't meant to have it. I'll live :)

[Jodi Frye]

It probably has something to do with all my pop up blockers :)

I'll look into it tomorrow when I'm more awake :) Thanks again !

[Wendy]

Jodi ... This is what I see:

http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?pic=1YfWisyWWijQVriaWlXbTBKahu15Qh0

It is on the main page not on a pop up ... may be an idea to see what you get on another browser or drop me a pm with your details and I will fill it in for you :)


Wendy

[Spyder]

You know this may be a good time for the PSE magazine to feature a coverdisc on their next issue! How about including copies of this disk so we all get them in the mail? Maybe it would be worth asking an extra $ for postage or something.
Or if someone's interested in doing copies and a couple of bucks for their time. Assuming the cd shows anything of interest anyhow.

[richs]

Everyone,

This may help as far as what the CD contains.

Some of this is available as tips on the Wacom site.

Note: The video portion is 6 min. of Scott and 22.5 min. of Dave.

[Pauline]

thanks Rich. Just realized I already have this one!! Got it as a freebee because of a mixup with an e-bay order. Guess I'll have two now!

[Pauline]

Jodi, are you trying to tell me, I'm dense?? :lol: I know I feel that way some times. That's what you get for having too much stuff, you can't keep track of it all!

[richs]

Pauline and Others

Your not alone. I wouldn't dare take a picture of my work area. If you've seen the commercial of the guy surrounded by the room full of STUFF, that could be me. My wife is constantly at me to organize.

BY THE WAY: I added a note to prior post about the video.

[Wendy]

Rich ...

:) :)

The only part of my work area that is tidy is the computer itself ... and on that I have an almost empty desk top. :) :)


Wendy

[richs]

I was surprised today to find an e-mail from Wacom wanting to know if I had recieved the CD. Besides acknowledging, I added a footnote for them to pass to their Marketing people that they need to address the Photoshop users outside the US & Can. do to the fact I see a lot of complaints on the forums. I guess, it's wait & see.

[MikeH]

Rich,

Thanks for the thought...

Mike

[Wendy]

Rich ..

Oh that was a good idea ... thank you from us excuded ones :)


Wendy

[drummermom]

Jodi,

If you are using a Mac, my guess is that the Javascript that makes the form on the page is incompatible with your browser. If you're using Safari, make sure it's the most recent version -- if it's Firefox, version 1.07 will work. If you're using the awful Internet Explorer for Mac, dump it for one of these.

The website I work for is having a heckuva time with Mac users....the javascript isn't working for anyone with a Mac and IE for Mac. :(

[Wendy]

Karoli ...

Jodi is a Windows user :)

For Mac users the link works fine on Camino too ... I didn't think that there were any Mac users still using IE as it doesn't work on OSX???


Wendy

[Jodi Frye]

It's a security thing...I have alot blocked here. No biggie. Thanks anyways.

[drummermom]

LOL..well, it was a guess anyway. Sorry about that, Jodi. :)

[Jodi Frye]

Do I look like I can afford an overpriced Operating system ??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's Wendy's department : :wink:

[Wendy]

Jodi Frye ...

... is that the way you talk to your friends :shock: :shock: :roll: :roll:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Wendy

[Jodi Frye]

[Pauline]

Ah yes Jodi, it does look like you can afford an overpriced operating system. I saw that ball gown you were wearing. :D :D

Cat fight..........geez and I'm going to miss it. I have to go and do my therapy visits with the dog this morning and highschool basketball game this afternoon!! Should be some interesting posts when I get back. :lol: :lol:

[Jodi Frye]

Pauline ? Cat fight ?? ha h hahha ha ha ha...not bloody likely. I love Wendy ;) I would never scratch her eyes out :) btw, that ball gown was rented ( on an hourly basis) :lol:

[Wendy]

Jodi ..

Ball gown was rented :lol: :lol: :lol: my coffee nearly hit the screen when I read that one.

You do have to admit that you looked soooooo good in it .... :)


Wendy

[Jodi Frye]

Wendy, it was all thanks to you ! You gave me an 'extreme makeover ' ;)

[virgo1]

It's a good thing my coffee was warming up when I read this. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Eva :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Wendy]

Eva ...

... sorry about that I guess we should have posted a coffee warning :)


Wendy

[virgo1]

Wendy...I didn't have the coffee in hand yet, it was warming in the microwave. :lol:

Here's one for you, a defination: Humoroids; lack of a sense of humor. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Eva :wink:

Here is the reply to the note about people being excluded.

Thank you for taking the time to share with us your feedback.
As for Tutorial tools, try www.lynda.com as she has such excellent video tutorials that both Adobe and Corel include some with some of their products.
Wacom actually has three world wide entities of which Wacom Americas just focuses on North and South America. We, as well as our uses are trying to spread the word.
Be sure to check out the Tips on Wacom Americas website under Tips.

My thoughts would be it might be benefical if all of you started an e-mail blitz to their European branch: http://www.wacom-europe.com/uk/support/contact/index.asp

Note,
If you go to Wacom site you find numerous links for worldwide.

[MikeH]

Rich,

Thanks... I will drop them a line...
