Joe, and other Teledisk group buy participants,
I've got some bad news. It appears that, within the last year or two,
Sydex has completely sold off the rights to Teledisk, and the product
itself, to a company called Forensics International. FI's web page clearly
states that they will sell only to law enforcement agencies and
Fortune-1000 companies that can show a need for the software.
I've written FI a note giving our group license info, and asking if they
picked up tech support responsibility for existing customers when they
bought TD. I would certainly think they would have! However, I think we
also need to be prepared for the worst (read: no more support.)
I will also drop a note to Sydex, but I don't hold out much hope at this
point.
Joe, I'll see if I can do anything with the files you sent.
Stay tuned...
