Melvin,
I realize it is a sales chat window...but it is so annoying and the support has been so difficult to receive through the phone calls I had already made, as well as emails which went unanswered (as you know now from the post I made that same evening in the "Support" discussion), so I tried another method in vain. I tried to get a sales guy to forward my need to have someone from support contact me, since sales continues to pop-up so aggressively while the support languishes. After all, as I pointed out to him, the lack of quality support had already cost him a sale, and so long as the support continues to be poor, he will not sell as much equipment, and perhaps his ability to earn a living through the "sales" will be noticeable eventually, as the two are very definitely related. Don't you agree?

This may once have been true but it isn't now and a better solution was never found. Whatever was done made it worse. I tried to read up on the AB2WFCAM just now but got so fed up with the pop up which now comes back after a few seconds whether it's closed or minimised. I left. Absolutely infuriating!!
