¢THE END OF THE COMPUTER CASSETTE?¢by S.J.Murray¢¢¢ As sales of NOSAUG PD disks have increased, sales of NOSAUG PD cassettes have fallen. I've only sold two PD cassettes over the past two months! Sales of Futura issue cassettes have also decreased - only one order has arrived for Futura 7 on cassette (thanks Steven). Obviously, sales of this level make it impossible to maintain the Cassette PD Library and offer Futura on cassette. Page 6 have tried to offer a cassette service in the past without success. Irish Atari User have recently dropped their issue cassettes becasuse of lack of interest. Are there any cassette users out there? NOSAUG PD and Futura cassettes offer at least six top-quality PD titles - the majority of them contain many more!¢¢ Hopefully, Paul Rixon will soon review a selection of NOSAUG PD cassettes within Page 6. This may increase sales to a satisfactory level. I hope so. Until sales increase, I will not be adding any new cassettes to the list. There are now fourteen cassettes to choose from (see CASSPD.DOC). Those who have ordered NOSAUG PD cassettes have been very pleased with their purchases.¢¢ I really enjoy putting together these cassettes and have many new ones in the pipeline... Best of Antic, Best of Analog, Sports Extravaganza, Amazing Demos 2, Text Adventures, Strategy, etc. I hope they will all come to fruition. I cannot begin to produce them until sales from the current listing increase (each new cassette takes 10-12 hours to produce).¢¢ If you know of any Atari 8-Bit cassette-based users, please tell them about the NOSAUG Cassette PD Library and Futura on cassette. Full details and listings are available from me by sending a SAE (or just send them CASSPD.DOC and SUBINFO.DOC). I'm currently offering any 4 NOSAUG PD cassettes for only 10 pounds in an attempt to increase sales. This really is an exceptional offer when you take into consideration the cost of the cassettes, the very long copying and testing process, the printing of the documentation, and the postage and packaging. Please spread the word and help me maintain a cassette service.¢¢¢NOSAUG - SUPPORTING THE CASSETTE USER!¢
