Okay, I must admit everytime i have tried to write this question.. I have written it poorly.. but the frustration i feel must surely be felt by everyone else
Brian, could you please be so kind as to let us know when we cna except not only the old workbook but the new one also. It has been almost 2 years now
Frustration?!?! You mean you don’t like paying for a product and a year later still getting nothing in return??
Not sure of their return policy on this stuff but at some point the wait becomes unreasonable and a refund should be an option from the member page.
@ Leet Man,
I am sure IE will make a new announcement soon in regards to the new changes, patient is gold man
