>>I ordered dBase II December 1981. You had to fill out a detailed form defining your computer. $795 and a few days later, I had the software in my hand. It would not load so I called “tech support”. Tech support said, “Please wait a minute”.

>>I heard two guys talking about my problem. Then the person I talked to said to me, “We do not know how to load it on your computer but if you find out would you like to be a support engineer for Ashton Tate”? It took me about one hour to figure out what the problem was. I was not a happy camper.

>>Ashton Tate became a large and powerful company with a strong legal staff, little concern for customers, third party vendors and seemed to want to control the software market. There are some things that just do not last. Corporate policy will sometimes get in the way.
