I hope you all don't mind, but as I do not have his permission to release the letter in its full state, here is a summary. ------------------------------------------------- Orion Solutions will be closed until 8/9/2004 Mark can be reached (it looks like on his mobile) but if you do, a minimum of $88 will apply. Website Hardware/Software Orders: These will be processedáas usuall - so dont let our holidays stop you from getting great value computers and software. (This includes the iminent release of eComStation 1.2) We will be happy to service your consulting/trouble-shooting needs when we return. So untill then enjoy your computing. ------------------------------------------------- This doesn't seem to totally explain the lack of response from the Orion Website....I thought these things can be left on autopilot, but, again, I'm only guessing.
