It's not essential ... but it's pretty damn useful

Acthe TROLL, have just looked at your ink and it is only available to Vista and I have Virgin Media.

[ACtheTROLL]

I'll have a pint of what you had!

not sure I follow old chap
virgin is your internet provider
windows is your operating system
DriverMax only works on
Windows Vista,
Windows XP and
Windows 2003 (all service packs).
Driver downloads are *only* available for Windows Vista users

AC pardon my ignorance, I thought Vista and Media are two differrent accounts. True<> I`ve just got back from my club where I`ve downed a couple of `John Smiffs`, anyway I`ll get on and have a go at innovative-sol etc.

Just read the mail properly

natasha A is bloody spam ... just delete any cr@p you get from these (and any other leeches) selling anything you've not asked about, anyone from your bank wanting to"veryfy your account details".
any foreign dictators offering you a cut of their millions if you'll just ginve them access to your account to deposit their country's funds....
deep colon irrigation, viagra
popups warning you that you are riddled with a virus only they can detect blah blah blah.

or owt else trying to separate you from the means to get more webbys from the club.

[ACtheTROLL]

Nat is actually the name that Serif (who are a reputable company) use to "humanise" their emails. That said, you can generally get free equivalents of most of what they offer these days.

I would think that they should actually remove you from their mailing list if you ask. (You're probably on it because you have ordered from them or an associate company in the past).

BTW, if they ever ring you up with one of their offers and you actually want it say that you don't - they'll generally come down to around 1/2 the original price.

Le
You are absolutely right it's a known company
It depends how you look at it ... Natasha Allachina - is either an attempt to humanise the company (in the same way that boots refer to themselves as christopher chemist your chemical chum - or M&S call themselves michael)

Or to me (cynical de bergerac) it's a way of dodging the spam filters

They generate unsolicited mails - the intent of which is to sell....
In my book that's spam - thus Natasha Allachina is no better than dodgy dan or shady sam.
