[comp.sys.atari.st] Practical Solutions fire sale

rrd@hpfcso.HP.COM (Ray Depew) (12/07/90)

Hello all,

Time to crank up the rumor mill.  Practical Solutions is having a mail-order
sale, for User's Group members only, of their Atari ST hardware -- items
like Tweety Board, VideoKey, Monitor Master (my favorite!) and other goodies.

Does this mean:
  a)  they're going out of business?
  b)  they're getting out of the Atari business?
  c)  they're way overstocked with obsolete stuff?
  d)  they're just way overstocked?
  c)  other? (fill in the blanks) _______________________________________

Just curious.

Hey, do these folks have a phone number?!?  If their stuff is on sale, I have
a buddy that would probably buy a VideoKey.  Where did you see this sale 
advertised?

Well, that's the rub.  It's for dues-paying User's Group members only.  Says
so on the order form.  If you can find a nearby Atari User's Group, you may
have time to pay your dues and get the order form before the offer expires.
In fact, the way ST support is going on this side of the oceans, it's well
worth your while to join a User's Group "just because".  Despite what people
are saying, the ST is going the way of the C64, Apple II, ...

I'd send you my order form, but I threw it away already.
