Mystery New Resources

Pam Larson said:

Two new resources showed up today:

Ancient Aramaic and Hebrew Letters (Texts) and

Prophets and Prophecy in the Ancient Near East (Texts)

I didn't order them as far as I know, and didn't get an e-mail about them. Explanation?

I suspect I can throw some light on that.

Did you by any chance buy the Christmas Master Collection? Or one of the other Christmas collections? I've been complaining about two files that were never unlocked although they should have been, and the Aramaic and Hebrew part of the Ancient Aramaic and Hebrew Letters were one of those files (we only got half the book, the English part). The other one was Mekhilta de-Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai, where we instead got the Hebrew, but not the English, file. 

It took me an awful lot of trouble and mails, and I ended up having to contact Dan directly, but that seems to have done the trick. I could now download both of those missing files, plus your third one. Obviously Dan referred the issue to the right person, someone conscientious enough to not only correct the two files I complained about, but also to go through the whole list and find a third bilingual book where only one half had formerly been unlocked, and which I hadn't [yet] discovered. And to unlock them for more people than me.

All of you who bought something at Christmas that included [half of] one or more of these three books should check that you are now getting the other halves. You have payed to get the whole books.

I must e-mail Dan and thank him tomorrow.

EDIT: I see that you figured most of it out while I wrote. I was downloading and indexing at the same time so my computer wasn't exactly responsive.

That's weird, I have these three resources that you mention are just now available, and all three show a date of "Last Updated" as October 22, 2010.  Were they available to some people but not everyone? I can post an image if you need it...

It's three books, but you're supposed to have six resources (3 original languages, 3 English translations). Do you?

And, like Praiser says, it sounds as if you bought them before Christmas.

I see what you are saying now

Good. [:)]

Someone who prepared the list of files to unlock made a simple mistake, missing that these books consist of 2 files each. That's quite understandable; it was a very long list and no one can be intimately acquainted with every single book Logos sells, especially as some of these hadn't been sold individually prior to Christmas. What's less understandable is the huge amount of effort I had to put in before someone finally admitted I was right. But hopefully everyone who should have the files now have them.
