Dear Subscriber,

Since I'm in the software business and see dozens of
programs every month, I consider myself a pretty tough nut
to crack. It takes a lot to make me take notice. I wish you
could have seen the look on my face when I first saw the
Catacomb Trilogy. Our Mad Gamers at Softdisk have created
exciting 3-D programs that impress even me.

I can't wait for you to try them. That's why we're offering
package pricing that gives you all three games for the price
of two.  When you see the quality, you'll realize what a
bargain this is! You'll enjoy the games even more with the
Kraft KC3 Joystick, so I've dropped the price on this to its
lowest level ever.

We also have a special offer for you from Checkfree for
terrific personal finance software.

Keep coming back to the Marketplace for great deals every
month--we've got more great things in store!

                               Happy Gaming!
                               Tim Choate
                               President

P.S. What would you do if your computer crashed because of a
virus? Don't let this happen to you. Check out VirusCure and
