There's a new publication out for Sysops, and YOU can get a FREE copy! A common practice in the magazine business is offer someone a free issue if they just return a reply card. The offer says that if you don't like the magazine, you can simply mark cancel on the bill and owe nothing. The trick is, after you get your first issue, they mail you an invoice, without reminding you that you can just write "cancel". They hope that by the time you receive the invoice, you will forget that you were getting it on a free trial basis, and you will automatically pay the bill. II Sysops, the new bi-monthly newsletter, will *not* do that. After you get your free issue, we will send you *nothing*, unless you send us money. No phony bill, no "official notices", no scams. Just send us your address and we will mail you one free issue. If you like it, send us a check to continue your subscription (rates listed below). What is II Sysops, anyway? II Sysops will be the place to find out about what's happening in the Apple II modeming community. Instead of you calling bulletin boards all across the country and scavenging through endless messages, let us do it. We'll put everything together bringing you the most relevant, interesting information. II Sysops will contain feature stories, sysop tips and techniques, programming help, product reviews, news, and more. The contents of II Sysops will be written by a wide variety of people involved in the online community; maybe even you! If you would like to write something to appear in the newsletter, send it to us marked "Submission." Full length published articles will earn you a free one-year (six issue) subscription. Published letters to the editor and other, short submissions will earn a free issue. Interested? We hope so! Send us your mailing address now to get the premiere issue free!
