Hmmmm.  The plot thickens.  When I called Ann Arbor to ask a few
questions about what FullWrite does, I asked the man when it would be
released.  He said the first week in September.  He also said the
thing is already written but is finishing up in testing and polishing.
Also, the product looks really snazzy after talking to the salesman.
I asked him about various functions and the answers I received made it
look really good.  Remember, anyone who got this ad, send it in by the
end of the week.

Oh, by the way, if an April issue of a mag gives a time of 60 days,
start counting from the 1st of April.  Susbscription holders the
issues early out of courtesy and lack of shipping red tape.  They are
to be read as if you bought it on the 1st of the month.  So, Fullwrite
was due in early July.
