The CompuShop chain is having a chain-wide sale of Maceverything at 33% off list; MAC ($1995), printer ($392), external drive ($328), carrying bag ($66), floppies ($33), Basic ($100), Multiplan ($128), as well as lots of Apple II stuff. Locally, sale was "while quantities last", and sold out on the first day, but I got on a waiting list on day 2, and received my drive and some floppies 3 days later( but I was close to the head of the queue). I just checked and they do not do business on a "remote" basis, and the only item IN, right now, is 1 copy of MacMultiplan. While I do recommend buying hardware locally, just in case of troubles, (I think my second mouse is crapping out already), I may be able to help A FEW of you to take advantage of the offers, other than printer and MAC which I do not think should be subjected to a lot of unsupervised traveling. My past experience with VECTREX-PEOPLE in helping each other out, has been extremely positive (both ways), but I can not handle more than a few requests, and that at a low priority. Should I get swamped with requests, I'll have to withdraw this offer REAL FAST, of course, (-: Werner P.S.: Anyone else ready to flame about MAC-OS and other software not being geared to take FULL advantage of the second drive ??? -------
