Bill,

This quote has an Aladdin EToken Pro64k USB for 59.06. I would like to have two USB Tokens for this security application. I assume that's what this item is. If so, I would like to go forward with this order, but with two of those tokens.

Thanks!

My PO# for this will be ABC123456

--------------------------


I receive a prompt reply with a quote for 1 of each item that I've asked for (not two, as indicated in the email above.)

Dear JEREMY:

OK,
So is this quote correct?
It has 2 of the Aladdin, 1 PKI client and 1 pgp.
thanks

--------------------------


But..... the quote that is attached has 1 Aladdin, 1 PKI client, and 1 PGP.

Yep, that is what is on this quote.

Did you want me to order? If so, is there a PO #?

Thanks.

yes please, PO ABC123456

Three days later, I'm on the phone, ordering another Aladdin, because despite the conversation above, there is only one on the order.

I guess this is my fault really, the last email in this thread should have read as follows:

Bill,

What you are telling me in email and what is on the quote you have sent me is not the same. The quote is *still* for 1 Aladdin. I need two. Please look at the quote again, update it, send it to me, and we can get this order going.
