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.
