- (Phone call to a software publishing company.)
-
-
- HELLO
-
- I've got this program here and maybe you'd be interested in buying it.
-
- Right now it only runs on Osborne equipment, but if you want to buy it,
- I'll rewrite it for Radio Shack. Color could be added later on.
-
- I've shown it to several people here and they all like it - it's got 290
- lines of BASIC code, so maybe you'll like it too. Do you use BASIC much?
-
- Do you have an Osborne? You'll want one to try my program before I revamp
- it - I don't want to invest any more time in it unless you want to buy it.
- Maybe you could find an Osborne in the newspaper used equipment ads.
-
- It's a program that community fire houses can use when they coordinate
- bazaars or group lawn sales and we've tried it twice at the town strawberry
- festivals and also we have this ambulance coin toss where money is coming
- in and the program does all the accounting and prints a couple reports.
- I'll bet you've never seen a program like this, have you?
-
- People I talk to say that every community has need for something like this
- and if you are seriously considering this type of program, I could mail
- it to you as soon as I write some documentation and fix this one bug we
- found that happens every time someone enters two-dollar bill donations.
-
- I don't own all of the program - Dr. Spellman the local dentist helped me
- write part of the program, but we can split the royalties, or you could write
- two checks when you buy it. It's a real winner, everyone tells me.
-
- You're not coming through here next week, are you? Because if you are,
- we'll have it all set up at the firehouse until Thursday, unless you want
- to come to my house on Friday.
-
- Shall I mail it? I'll need a non-disclosure statement from you. (Actually
- it's the dentist who insists on it.) Also a small advance would help too.
-
- Shall I send it overnight or COD express?
