Mandriva HAS kept their promise, at least to some of us on the list.
I can't say what I did right, I sent a message to Florin with my 
request. I listed my club status and my status in the list. As I said 
before, they upgraded my access to VIP and I downloaded the ISO with no 
problem. I'm sure any new prospective customers will read you rant in 
the spirit is seems to be intended.

It's not that I want the iso anymore, I'll never use it. They need to learn that they cannot say one thing and then do another. Notice that nobody from Mandriva has said anything like ...sorry, we changed our minds and this is what we have decided... or ...what I intended to say is... It was simply Screw you!
