the phone is a cell phone out of Sacramento, CA the company does exist and is legit. the fax is also in Sacramento, CA however (and i do not know anything about California.) the company is in Rancho Cordova, California not sure if they are close to one another or not. Their site says that all sales are conducted through the email address [email protected] so i would call the real number

To phone sales: (916) 439-6948

To phone support: (916) 337-0935

and ask them if Eric Elliott actually works there. before i rushed into things. also is your email address through a domain or is it a regular email address like gmail or hotmail.

The thing is that I live outside the U.S.

i called and there IS an Eric Elliott that works there however it sounded strange on the phone it was echoey

strange the "Official" phone number from the website is also a Cell phone and this one is out of Folsom, CA as is the "Official" fax so the numbers do not really match up much. it might just mean they are personal phones used for company use and its a Very small company :p seams rather sketchy

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
