Where and more importantly WHEN can I purchase a copy of the Dublin
Golden Pages on CD? I am aware that the same information is available
on-line via Dublin Golden Pages On Line. I am also aware that a new
Golden Page CD is overdue for release. I want ONLY the newly released
(about to be released) CD.
This is a relatively easy one, but two critera must be met to
correctly answer
this question: 1: Where do I get the Dublin Golden Pages CD? (both
physical and online addresses telephone number etc) When Can I get
this CD specific date if at all humanly possible?

Request for Question Clarification by journalist-ga on 31 Mar 2003 19:10 PST

Hi Roger - I'm sending you a message via this clarification to let you
know that the question you just asked me regarding storage is not
locked by me - it's locked automatically by Google Answers because the
word "Google" appears in the question.

That happenes all the time - most customers don't know about this
"Google" watch it and it's just an automatic procedure.  As soon as
the editors unlock the question, I'll post my answer for you.  I just
wanted you to clue you in on why it may be locked for awhile.  :)

Hello Roger,

I was not able to locate specific information for the *new* Golden
Pages Directory but perhaps if you call the numbers below, they may be
able to give you more information.

Bobbie I do appreciate your help but, what you have provided is
exactly what i did not want. I've already been there and done that.
And am sick and tired of listening to background music and make
selections of pressing 1, 2, or 3 for this that or the other. I tried
to very clearly state what I wanted and obviously I have not
communicated satidfactorily. Allow me to repeat spcifically that I
want: 1 The name and online and physical address of the supplier. 2
The date of the release of this new version. I will be in Dublin in
about 2 weeks time and am too busy to make these sorts of calls or do
the research myself. I should have added to my request that I do not
want links or phone numbers for further information. I just wanna buy
the CD, if and when they bring it out. And/or to find out if it is
already out. Thanks
To answer my question satisfactorily you need to tell what I asked for
in the first place. I know you are trying to be helpful and I
appreciate that but I need links and 1800 numbers at the moment like I
need a hole in the head! Thanks and my apogogies if I offend you with
this blunt reply. Luv ya still from Roger.

Hi Bobby, Roger here. In re-reading your answer in part; with less
pressure and rush happening. I think I may have been a little "harsh"
on you. I say this because you have provided me with the physical
address and contact phone numbers, and also the online address etc.
You have also given me the lots of other useful links etc that when I
have the time I can probably follow up.
However you have not confirmed a release date of the new product or
answered part 2 of my question. Obviously this is not your fault that
you are unable to do this at this point in time. Would you accept my
apologies for my earlier "bluntness" and suggest to me if I should
leave the question open for another day or two in the hope that you
may get a postitive reply to your email. I am a man of "action" and I
have a lot of faith in you G/A guys & gals and in the short time I've
been around have come to expect answers will always come almost
instantly. Paf, Pinky and indeed your goodself and others have spoilt
me rotton with such quality (quick) answers. That I guess I got just a
little bit too impatient. I await your further comment in due course
and when convenient. Kind regards from: Roger

Thanks journo!
Another day another lesson (for me)! I'll know not to put the "G" word
in a question any more. There is no rush I am not departing overseas
for another 3 days yet. As long as I can file all my valuable answers
securely away before I depart I will be happy. I will keep a lookout
for your answer "in due course", as they say in the public service.
Kind regards and Thank you from Roger.
(p.s if u see this comment let me know next time u communicate. I say
this because I wonder how you will know I have replied to you in this
section.)

Dear Roger,

I completely understand your impatience as I myself, am very
impatient.

I suggest you leave the question open for a few more days. I may get a
response to the inquiry I sent out or perhaps another researcher may
have better luck than I in obtaining the release date of the Golden
Pages CD-ROM.

Frequently where one researcher does not succeed in answering a
question, another comes along and answers it effortlessly. There are
500 qualified researchers at Google Answers and I’m sure many of them
are working on your question right now. We don’t always lock a
question as we work on it.

As long as your question is open there is still a chance that one of
us will find you your answer. Some answers just take longer than
others.

Sincerely,
Bobbie7

I know you replied because I checked back here.  :)  Thanks for
understanding and here's a toast to patience.

Hi bwll77-ga,

I've got in contact with Golden Pages and unfortunately, they don't
have a release date for the CD yet, and aren't announcing one right
now. As you already mentioned, the new version is overdue for release
- it was originally supposed to be february - and the company
representative I spoke to said they weren't announcing another date
until they were 100% sure it would go ahead.
FYI, the ads are still running on Irish radio announcing that the
Golden Pages is closing soon, for any companies who have yet to place
their ads.
Sorry I couldn't get better news for you. 

regards,
cobrien-ga

Thanks for that CoBrien
Nice of you to try for me. 
I think I'll close that question off now.
Cheers from Roger
