This program is subject to change without notice. A piece of the Payment terms paragraph got nailed: Payment may be by Master Card, VISA, or American Express. So: If you are jumping platforms, the date to beat is August 31, 1995. If you are staying with the Amiga, you can get that $149 price through the end of September. Limber up the plastic folks, and dial fast or die! Chuck. PS: Post this around any services you have access to. We want to make sure the word gets around, and there is not time for a mailing for those who wish to change platform.
