- Fellow CD-ROM buyers.
- We now have 19 people wanting one of the CICA CD-ROMS described
- below. I've spoken with Bob Bruce at Walnut Creek about bunching
- differing CD-ROM's in the same order for a better price and we can
- do it. So, look through the list, let me know which one's you want,
- what's the max price you'll pay for it(ie if we don't get 25 discs
- in the order, would you still pay the qty 10 price)and I'll let you
- know what we've worked out. Also note the CD-ROM Sony Caddies for
- $4.95, everwhere else I've seen these, they're $8+ for them, so if
- you need 'em this is a good deal.
-
- We'll be ordering this the first or second week of January. If you
- can think of relatives or friends who might want one of these, NOW
- is the time to buy it, since the price would be better than they'd
- get on their own. Call 'em and ask, let me know via email, and I'll
- get back to for payment and delivery.
-
- -dewey
- ps. email me and I'll mail you a copy of the index to the Windows disc.
