Dale- What happened to that impending DiskSalv announcement? Did I miss it, or is it still impending? Mr. Zombie

You're right, I was hoping to have the announcement ready, but I don't. Seems the doing is taking more time than the planning (hence the announcing). Dale L. Larson, dale@iam.com el Presidente, IAM http://www.iam.com

Hi Dale, Haven't yet received any info from IAM, so could you drop some product info and dealer info to us. Thanks. Videology, Inc. Box 512 Newtown, CT 06470 Hank Videology, Inc Where you always get P.O.M.P. and Service under all circumstances

The product info is downloadable as iam.lha in the news&reviews section here on CIS. Dealer information depends on whether you have enough volume to justify buying direct — Software Hut has been good at distributing our products to smaller dealers with about the same or even better terms than they can get from me.

Actually, I left out a lot of places that we have distributors. The list would be longer than the announcements. Dale L. Larson, dale@iam.com el Presidente, IAM http://www.iam.com

MB4 sounds neat! Can you describe Ami-FileSafe? I have no idea what it is. And does it come with all sold packages, or only when one buys direct from IAM? — Tom

Thanks for your interest in our products! MegaBall4 is indeed neat! We had the launch party yesterday. Besides the authors and their friends (and friends of IAM) we had a half dozen kids over to play the game. We some times had to tell the adults to let the kids have a turn, but everyone really liked it. It's truly a game which appeals to people of all ages and both sexes! The party was a blast. I'd always wanted an exuse to buy a bottle of Dom Perignon on the company's account, though perhaps pizza and Champagne is an odd combination… 🙂 AFS is described in our earlier press releases and in the iam.lha AmigaGuide file which you can download from the news and reviews section. AFS Floppy is part of all MB4 packages, not just those purchased direct from IAM. Dale L. Larson, dale@iam.com el Presidente, IAM http://www.iam.com
