]]> Comment on Pinnacle = Worst customer support ever by Charlotte http://toughquestionsblog.com/?p=13&cpage=1#comment-9 Charlotte Sun, 13 Jun 2010 15:59:15 +0000 http://toughquestionsblog.com/?p=13#comment-9 I also had a very bad experience with their customer support. I was forced to buy a Studio upgrade when I got Windows 7. I purposely stuck with Studio because I already owned a Pinnacle analog capture device, and the specs said they were compatible. I registered my product as instructed but could not log on to access internet chat tech support. In fact, I could not even send an e-mail ! I phoned them (not a free call, by the way) and spent 20 minutes on hold, then another 15 minutes with someone who ended the converstation saying "I'm not realy tech support, I'm just getting information, someone will call you back". Someone did call me back - about 6 hours later. But HE did not have any of the product information I had provided in the previous phone call. I explained I was in the car at the time and asked him to call back the next day. Of course no one ever did. Because I was up against deadline and did not want to learn a new editing program, I was forced to buy new hardware to go with Studio 14. I will never do business with Studio/Pinnacle/Avid again. I wish I had read the user forums before going down this path. At the very least, from now on I will search a company's web site to see if they have an easy e-mail link.

Each one is an attempt to get rid of some of the problems they see in the other... Christianity is an attempt to get rid of the ridiculous and cruel Mosaic Law, Islam is an attempt to get rid of the trinity and the need for God to sacrifice himself to himself -- however, none of them are particularly creative, so they all tend to keep the majority of the crazy beliefs held by the parent religion.

I've seen many an atheist attempt to put forth arguments against Islam only find the exact same problem you did. It seems the Muslims couldn't offer anything new that Christianity hadn't already done. It's like the Christians just hi-jacked Judaism, and then the Muslims hi-jacked Christianity. The whole thing is just a re-hash. “Tough Questions for Christians series usually deals with subjects that are shared by Muslims, so re-creating the same questions with a different title would be uselessly redundant.”
