I finally got a response to my request for a refund for the defective True Image 9.0 software sold to me by the Acronis company. When I read it, I couldn't help laughing. The text of it appears below. Again, remember that this was the response I got three days after asking Acronis to refund me my money as required by the 30-day money-back guarantee. It's not an automated response (although that's probably what they usually use it for) but the response they sent directly in reply to my request for a refund :) :
