Netlanders--
Has anyone ordered the "Free Database and Spread Sheet and Expert System"
from PC Magazine for $20? It seems tgtbt (too good to be true). For those
of you who haven't seen the add it says that they only charge $20 for the 4
disks, advertising and the postage necessary. It's written in basic and
sounds good on paper. I guess even if the software is no good that you have
4 disks.
--Thanks,
Kevin

I believe you're referring to the offer by Potomac Pacific Engineering. The offer is legitimate. The software exists and really works. I have not evaluated it extensively. It does appear serviceable, but the slowness!!! (Running under BASIC interpreter). Perhaps these + QuickBasic would be a good combination. regards, Larry -- "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about." - Oscar Wilde, James Whistler or George Bernard Shaw depending on who you ask Name: Larry A.
