[comp.sys.handhelds] Wizard/PC Organizer Link upgrade offer ...

SPGJAF@CMSA.BERKELEY.EDU (Joseph A. Faracchio {415} 642-7638 {w}) (06/08/91)

I just received the "The Wizard Wire"  Vol II No. 4
its an interesting little thing mostly conceived to generate hype
(read: sales) for Wizard stuff.

Two key points that came with it:

  An upgrade offer indirectly from Sharp is available for the PC-Link
software.   Just send the original diskette (PC's only, Mac not avail)
to :
          Sharp Wizard OL2 Upgrade Offer
          3228 East Indian School Road
          Suite 103
          Phoeniz,   AZ   85018               (602) 224-9922

They want $39.95 plus $4.75 s/h for it.  I hear its a very big improvement
over the original software and includes a 1 command backup all capability.

Its says the deadline is May 31, 1991 but I called and its been extended to
June 30, 1991 due to Sharp not getting this newsletter out in a timely manner.

Also on the reverse side of the flyer was an offer for SideKick 2.0 for $49.99.
It says you have to mail in your OL registration card (if available) with check
/MC/Visa to :

             Sharp's SideKick 2.0 Offer
             P.O.Box 308
             Mount Olive,   NJ   07828

The fine print says:

 "Offer available to purchasers of the OZ-8000 series, OZ-7000 series , ZQ-5000
series Organizers or the OZ-890 Organizer Link or Wizard Software/Peripherals.
The coupon must be accompanied by a sales receipt dated April 1 to August 31,
1991 and a completed registration card, if available.  ... postmarked by Sept
14, 1991 .. subject to avail ... good in U.S. only.  Void where ... "

Since I just traded in my ZQ-2200 for a ZQ-5200 I sent a copy of the receipt
but no registration card (there isn't any for Organizers just for the software)
and am waiting to see if I get 'kicked' out.

hope this helps !! .. joe.f.
