does jbsplace still want zip files.

I suppose the reasons for the downtime was due to ill health!

I received email as well. They can go without me.

You must be psychic Vortech. Email in part:-

As you are a former Virtual Form Guide subscriber we are pleased to advise that the service is back online.
Technical problems compounded by the proprietors ill health caused the Virtual Form Guide to be suspended a few months ago.

Enjay.

What is really silly, is that coming clean and say, sorry "we screwed-up we'll be back on line soon as we can", would've worked for me and many others I suppose.

"Ill health" oldest excuse in the books.

If you're running a business and want it to continue, "ill health" doesn't cut it anyway. Either get your employee(s) to run it or get someone in who can.

Perhaps the "ill health" was alzheimers - kept on forgetting to do the tax return

it will mean software changes for me as the horses\form folder will have changed to horses\tvx.

It's simply an attempt at coverup, anyone with knowledge of what actually happened realizes it's another attempt to save sinking ship.

These are the facts.

The company went into liquidation. I spoke personally with the liquidator in Melbourne and they advised the major creditor was the Australian Taxation Office whom I believe were owed in the vicinity of circa $180k.

The business assets and other IP was sold to a related party (see Corporations Act 2001 Cth.) if you want to know more about what that means. Essentially Bill Saunders who was the director was also connected with the purchaser. The sale proceeds was for the most part made up of an assumption of certain liabilities but not the ATO debt. Very little if any cash changed hands.

I am not aware whether or not the business has been since on sold to the new owners or whether they are the same that purchased the assets from the liquidator.

I reason I know this is simple. We were interested parties in purchasing some or all the assets.

Topsy would still like files if you have them.

May I ask what the new system you are talking about??? And it is free?

Cheers

much of the software and knows the requirements of the old subscriber
base."

which I think is an indication of our sincerity."
