Seriously pissed off

Hi guys,
I Recently Bought TGE and even though the online documentation is fairly extensive I was stuck.
I looked around and found out that the book "the game programmer's guide o torque" might just do the trick (link to the book sold from this garagegames site as well).
However the book, which uses its own examples provide them only for pc (I use mac).
Furthermore - the author email is apparently full and his site hasn't been updated for approx a year.
WTF ?
Seriously this engine does not come with the necessery documentations, and referes me to a book which does not support mac...
Did I just waste 200$ ? !

I had no idea I was talking with anyone from GG (in my defense your users do not contain any form of identification - title etc. shows a regular member).
David,
I used the contact us form (located at the bottom of the main page - url : http://www.garagegames.com/company/contact) I belive I filed the messages subject under general but i might be mistaken).
I was certain I'm not receiving any formal replay in the forums and/or in my messages and well, after a while I kinda gave up.

It should have come to me if you used the form, but I haven't seen a message from you. I checked my spam folder as well to see if you'd popped in there for whatever reason. Nothing but viagra and UK lotto winnings. People seem to really want to enhance me both financially and physically!

I can't really do much about it (except trying to send another message right now just to see if it works for future reference).
I looked around my mailbox and found your email, ill send you a note in a min.

Just for the record, I'm not a GG employee, just a very active community member. Unfortunately that was a site feature that went away with the site upgrade. Hopefully it comes back, of course I'm sure its lower on the web team's priority list as well it should be.
