PAYMENT DETAILS, PERSONAL CONTACT, ETC.
---------------------------------------
- The above disks are "copyware"; price is $ 5.00 per disk (unless stated
otherwise). I don't mind swapping my disks for other quality PD/original
releases, though I reserve a right to determine what a fair exchange is.
I can also process any "open" orders - whereby people can let me select
disks for them - based on a general-indication of the sort of work they
are interested in (and the amount of money they send).
- All correspondence, cheques & Money Orders should be made out to:
Alex Van Starrex
4 Westward Street
Kareela N.S.W 2232
AUSTRALIA.
- Anyone phoning within Australia (check your directory-guide if you live
overseas) can usually reach me on the following numbers (ask for Alex):
- Work (02) 542-0200 - during normal "office-hours"
(but be prepared for the location); or
- Home (02) 528-4329 - outside "office-hours"
(unless I'm at University or "out").
- Anyone writing who wishes a reply will get it sooner if they enclose a
stamped, self-addressed envelope (or packet, if they want disks). It may
be some time before I reply - I'm not as amenable as I used to be.
- Assistance given: If readers have queries in relation to various facets
of Amiga-use (especially in the field of creative work), I can often be
of assistance. Sorry: no programming, MIDI, or hard-disk enquiries, but
I can usually come-up with an answer for most other things.
