Hi - my name's Derek - I'm the business development manager for Xara - my main task is to set up a network of resellers/distributors worldwide.
I'm looking for a favour <grin, wink wink>. Actually, I'm after 2 <sheesh!>
Can you email me : derekh@xara.com with the names of 3 resellers (online or physical) you'd like to see any or all the Xara titles for sale.
Also next time you speak with your reseller can you ask them if they sell Xara - if they tell you that they don't...ask them why! tell them to stock it!
We're aiming to get Xara to where it should be so this means having our products available everywhere. I'm talking to a lot of resellers already (a fair number have signed up) but with your help we should get the recognition we deserve.
Thanks. Derek

I can tell you right off the bat to have Amazon.com stock it..........
Gateway Accesories Store should be selling it as well........
Then how about Best Buy to hit all the other folks that may or may not know about Xara.
How about an update on when there is going to be a new release?? There are a few, not so nice, bugs in XaraX. Maybe you can do US a favor and find out, huh? huh?? Pretty please?? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Thanks and I hope these are good ideas for ya!!

try Future Shops and Staples/Business Depot, for starters.

I use Jungle.com & Watford Electronics, who are both cheap and big advertisers.

Wow not very often a help message also shows a smiley face [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Yeah I suppose in Canada, Futureshop and staples. Or maybe
http://www.compusmart.com/
Their stores http://www.compusmart.com/OurStores....g4n1w323426986
Never been there myself as they have decided my region of the world to be unworthy of a store [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img] ... ah well back to futureshop with its loud booming home entertainment systems and fridges cluttering up the aisles on the way to the rather meagre selection of graphics software [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]
Seems to be quite a few Atlantic Canadians here on the boards so don't forget about us (although having it shipped from you was no problem at all)

I find Jigsaw a pretty good retailer:
Jigsaw24
The others I use have been mentioned here already.
Good plan by the way!

Somebody else already mentioned Best Buy for here in the states, but I'd also recommend contacting a chain called Fry's Electronics. They have a new store in Houston that's like, literally, three times bigger than any Best Buy I've ever seen.

Although I already mailed it to Derek, I'll add here tha in Belgium and France, FNAC is a big reseller. They do sell software in English, at least in Belgium, dunno about France.
Unfortunately I lost all my favourites but I'll try to find back this big online reseller in Germany. (much cheaper than here in B. with that 2&3ç0)88§88!!! 21%VAT...)
If you don't work against time, time often works for you.

Found it back: www.softline.de
They do sell English versions of apps. and are quite cheap compared to mumble grumble. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
By the way: I found something I would like to see included in the next Xara: mathematical curves. These are quite beautiful and not easy to draw with the usual tools. We already mentioned the different spiral types like DRAW has, but I'm also talking about helixes, trapeziums, parallelograms, diamonds, kites, cissoids, cycloids, cog wheels and eventually even a formula function. An arc would also be handy...

Fry's also bought out Outpost.com
They also do not have a very good reputation. Let the buyer beware.

Thanks for all your emails and comments - the feedback has been great!
A quick message to the UK members: Xara products are now available through most of the large resellers via their download stores:
Jungle, Dabs, Microwarehouse, etc
We are also launching products with the Systemax group (Misco, Insight, etc)
Should be sold through PC World within the next 3 months
In the US/Canada - things take a little longer to sort out mainly because the market is far more complex and large than the UK - but we are making progress....
Rest of the world - lots of stuff happening
You can check for all signed up resellers at http://www.xara.com/ordering/world.asp
thanks again!
