[comp.sys.apple] What happened to my playtesters?

PGOETZ@LOYVAX.BITNET (05/29/88)

    About three months ago I asked for playtesters for my text adventure Inmate.
Many people wrote in asking to be playtesters, but only half of those I asked
in a post to info-apple to playtest the game sent in a SASE as I asked.
Those who still haven't sent in an envelope are:

Scott Logan
Greg Henderson
Ralph Hyre
Mark Lowe
Drew Holzlein
Jonathan Gelfand
kreme@ucscb

   This is your last chance to playtest; the program is nearing its final form.
If those above still want to review it, send a SASE with a 5 1/4" floppy and
63 cents postage to

Phil Goetz
4023 Huckleberry Row
Ellicott City, MD 21043

If you no longer want to playtest the program, please tell me.  Don't leave
me hanging.

    If anyone else wants to be a playtester, send me a SASE as described above
& I will boot one of those people from their slot & send the disk to you
instead.

    Most of those whom I sent copies to two months ago have not yet returned
reviews as they said they would.  Would

David Oberhart
Richard Binder
Ian Latinette
Michael Alexander
and Michael de la Maza

please send their reviews in?

    Sorry to bother everyone; I couldn't reach most of these people with gmail
(our only internet mailer).

    One interesting note:  When the envelopes started coming in, I noticed that
most of them had handwriting very similar to mine!  It could be that
occupations or hobbies are somehow related to handwriting.

WEIRD!  If word processing is the primary professional use (compared to
games which may be the most popular general use) of microcomputers,
howcome you get HANDWRITING from commited computer users?

I long ago created a template for addressing envelopes.  If my handwriting
looks like yours, it's because mine has degenerated from absence of
use and perhaps yours has as well (?)
