Fw: [plt-scheme] help browser question

In the meantime, after some polite, but in other respects not so friendly 
emails, I have received confirmation that all my payments have been 
refunded.
Anyway I had already ordered my bank to withhold the payments.

Something like this happened to me before by a company billing me twice for 
the same product.
I ordered my bank to cancel the second invoice and they promptly did, of 
course.
Then the thrustworthy company became aware of their mistake and refunded 
again on their own intiative.
I phoned my bank that double refund was very friendly, but something I 
should bring to attention.
The company and my bank never managed to correct the double refund. Is'nt 
that nice.
It is not nice of course, for it means that somehwere the administration is 
ill implemented/organized.
It was a small amount. May be for a bigger bill things would have gone in a 
different way.
I wonder what, in this respect, is going to happen with freedownloadzone 
(which is everything except free!)
Thanks to all of you for your support.
