just a moan, but has anyone received Wacom's free 10 day trial to Lynda.com where you have to input your billing details to access the 'free'

why do they do that? I would never input my card details on a free trial.

it gets me so mad.

Indeed.
Not only that they usually make it easy to sign up and then very difficult to cancel once the trial period is over.
Also annoying is when you try free software, finish your trial, uninstall and find your PC still has loads of their little programs running to stop you trying another free trial. I understand why they do it but once I've decided I don't want their software I want it all off my hard drive!

I agree. Lynda.com is fantastic but that is out of order. It's almost as bad as some electrical shops who advertise discounts only to find you have to pay the whole amount and then claim the discount back from their website after you go home.

Cynical and nasty.

This really ought to be a general pet peeves thread. I could probably fill it up on my own with my ever increasing list of annoyances.
