Tysinger) Followup-To: triangle.wizards Distribution: usa Organization: UNC-CH School of Medicine Lines: 28 Yesterday I received an offer in the mail for free software from a company I have never heard of as a promotional incentive. I would appreciate any information anyone can provide on the following: Ohio Distinctive Software 4588 Kenny Road P.O. Box 20201 Columbus, OH 43220 (614) 459-0453 Software (4 programs) called: 1) Executive Diet Helper 2) Menu Planner 3) Weight Loss Planner 4) Food Label Analyzer The company is making the offer to "increase public awareness of our software" and states that "these programs are the exclusive products of ODS and are not available from any other source" So, is this too good to be true? Deadline for ordering is Feb 15, HELP! .....................All opinions are entirely my own.................... Barbara R.
