ICD 8-Bit Blowout Sale
----------------------
Yes, it's true. The time has finally arrived for ICD to clear out the
800/XL/XE 8-Bit line of products, dust off the shelves and make room for
more inventory. Our basic reason for this sale is that we can no longer
show any profit margins for these products, nor produce any large quantities
to keep in stock, but we can and will continue to support the end-users.
Because of Atari's decision to drop the XL/XE line, followed immediately
by the decline and fall of 8-Bit support throughout the national dealer
community, ICD must close out our complete stock of 8-Bit products,
including both the OSS, Inc., and ICD, Inc. lines. However, we will
continue to provide quality technical support during the warranty period
of these close-out products.
As heartbreaking as this news may be to you and us, the truth is that it
had to happen sooner or later. To be honest, it was later. We at ICD, long
supporters of the 8-Bit Atari community, have held out for as long as we
possibly could manage. There is, however, one bright note in this sale. It
is YOU, the end-user, who benefits from the Super ICD Blowout Clearance Sale!
Our entire stock of 8-Bit items, including spare manuals, parts, pieces,
and assorted used equipment, must go now! For information on purchasing
parts and assorted components to these products, call ICD voice at
(815) 968-2228.
Everything from our door-opening US Doublers and SpartaDOS, the complete
line of OSS programming languages (including Personal Pascal for the Atari
ST, the only ICD ST product included in his sale), all the way up the line
to our Multi I/O (MIO) interfaces and the all-new SpartaDOS X cartridge.
We are determined to see that you have the products that you need to
survive, so rather than drop the line completely and toss all of our hard
work into a dusty corner, we also intend to sell the rights to these
products! Once the rights have been sold, the new owner(s) can continue to
manufacture all these superior products just for you. If you are interested
in the rights to these items, please call ICD voice to discuss terms.
Have you been looking high and low for your ICD product manual? Is your
copy bent, folded, stapled, mutilated, torn up and dog-eared? For that
matter, did your dog eat it? Have you taken so many notes in it that you
can't read the original text? It doesn't matter! Whatever reason you have
for wanting a new manual, now is the time to get your new copy. We have a
few spares, and they are now on sale!
Never underestimate the power of your Atari 8-Bit computer system,
regardless of which one you own. These systems have been well developed,
and frankly, are the most researched and documented home computer systems
available. There has never been a more widespread appreciation for these
computers. They were the "Cutting Edge" in their time, and still are for
the new computer user. These systems are excellent starter systems, perfect
for the children of the die-hard club.
Unfortunately for all of us, those in Atari Corp that make the decisions
sometimes do so in haste. This, then, directly affects dedicated 8-Bit
users, and we come full circle to where we are today...suffering withdrawal
symptoms.
Suffer no more! ICD is offering you one final chance to own those products
that you have been saving your hard-earned pennies for, for so long. There
are litterally thousands of folks out there that have learned to use these
systems, and are willing to assist you in every effort to learn and
understand them, not counting ICD. This is your last chance to buy them
from ICD! Once our stock is depleted, your chance is gone.
Almost all of these products are now on sale at over 50% off! Get them
while they are available. This sale will end sooner than you think since
products will now be in demand at these prices. Don't wait! You've been
warned!
You can order these items on the ICD Support BBS (815-968-2229), where the
sale prices are ALREADY on-line! Please don't ask if you can get any better
prices. You can't...anywhere! The prices listed are already over 50% off!
