Ahah! Now I know the secret of getting a response from Parallax... don't directly email them, post to the PIC list, they will not respond in private, but they do respond quickly publicly. This exactly opposes my recent experience with Scenix... don't post to their newsgroup, send a message to the webmaster. They will not respond publicly, but they do respond quickly in private. Of course, this is based on a sampling of only one message to each company (each sent two ways)Individual results may vary.
