I filled out one of these cards too but nothing happened.  Then one day, I
started receiving the Magazine.  I looked at the mailing label and it
indicates the subscription ends in 1992.  I've been receiving it for
a few months now but I haven't seen a bill nor a mouse pac.  I'm worried
that in 1992 they'll send me a big bill.
