Questions about Ordering
Limited Brand Technology Services
"I have worked with Outside View 3270 for 2 years. Not once have I had a problem with this product where I had to call support.
Recently an upgrade was released. I send an email to Crystal Point with several questions, which they answered thoroughly and promptly. At that time, we did not get a chance to download and install Version 7.3D and the license information was auto-purged from our emails. I had to request the download password again--the response was immediate and courteous. The "readme" included with the 7.3D installation is thorough. Crystal Point , from my experiences, has dependable products and excellent personal customer service."
