Thank you Fish for starting this thread. Thanks to all you guys who have taken the time and effort to make this expired software work. And thanks to everyone who has helped someone (or ten) repair their equipment by sending this corporately hoarded information. Gotta love the internet....
....I"m taking the extra step to guard against mail problems. I've sent all three copies via "Flat rate box". It's more expensive, but hopefully will eliminate scratched & damaged CD's. I've put the discs in cover protectors, wrapped them in foam, etc.
USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail is unnecessarily expensive for a single CD. I mail CDs/DVDs out for less than $2, plus the 70 or 80 cents for delivery confirmation.
- Place the CD in a paper or Tyvek CD sleeve, tape it between 2 squares cut from corrugated cardboard, place it in a large envelope cut down or folded to fit.
- Or tape it between 2 squares cut from cereal box cardboard and place it in a padded envelope cut down to fit.
- Or buy commercially made CD or photo mailers for less than the cost of USPS flat rate shipping.
The problem I have had with scratched CDs is when they are placed un-sleeved and loose in an envelope and allowed to slide around, especially if that envelope has a metal clasp.
Bought mediacat off ebay uk and it ran out yesterday so unable to load it. A way round this would be ideal but if someone can send a copy to me i would be most greatful.
cheers.
I also turned up a 2005 copy, I wonder if it has any of the older mechanic's manuals......
2005 on the way back to Fish.
Didn't see anything on this version that wasn't in the '07 version.
Was looking for some older Technical Information bulletins that are not on MediaCat '07 and newer.
A question by Poge on the other thread made me post this:
To find the tech/workshop manuals, click on "List View" when it first opens, then if there is a mechanic manual on the cd, it will appear when you click on that saw model...
