Dear Subscriber:

     Have you ever thought about how much computers have
changed your life?  I continue to be amazed at what computers
can do and how much I depend on my computer both at work and
at home.

     This month we're pleased to offer several of my
personal favorites that make home computing even better--and
at great savings!  Quicken 5.0 (R) will make you more effi-
cient. Personal Lawyer (R) will allow you to create your
own legal documents. The Print Shop (R) will turn your
computer and printer into a creative printing press. And
don't forget to review the TurboTax brochure that was mailed
with this issue. It could save you time AND money.

                                Happy Computing!
                                Tim Choate
                                President

P.S. March and April are just around the corner which means
that the Michaelango and Jerusalem viruses will be making
unwanted rounds again. Make sure yur PC is armed with virus
protection software. If you don't have any, check out our
VirusCure offer.
