SNAKE OIL:
----------
  "Step right up, folks, and gather 'round.  I'm gonna show you somethin' you
can't afford to be without.  Cures the blues, the hives, and computeritis.
Don't forget the name, it's Big Blue Disk."

  The printed material packaged with each issue of Big Blue Disk will allow you
to avail yourself of our many bargain prices for products ranging from blank
disks to printer ribbons to software. You may also find a special offering with
a super sale price for Big Blue Disk subscribers only.  And best of all,
Big Blue Disk products are guaranteed. Whether it's back issues you're after or
the lowest prices around for blank diskettes, grab that paper now and fill out
the order form.  Or for credit card orders, use our toll-free order line, (800)
831-2694. 

HOMEWARD BOUND:
---------------
  If you buy Big Blue Disk at the local newsstand, you are probably paying
$9.95 for each issue. That's still a good deal for a diskette chock-full of good
software.  But why not save even more by becoming a Big Blue Disk subscriber?

  You can have Big Blue Disk mailed directly to your mailbox (and get it at
least two weeks earlier than the newsstands) at $49.95 for six months, 69.95
for a full year. (Six and 12 issues, respectively.)  It makes dollars and
sense, too.  Look at this:

ISSUES  NEWSSTAND  SUBSCRIPTION  SAVE
  6       59.70        39.95      33%
 12      119.40        69.95      41%

  To order, choose "Run It" from the Snake Oil menu and have your printer print
the form.  Just fill in the blanks -- or simply write what you want on a blank
sheet of paper -- or use your credit card and call toll free: 1-800-831-2694.
