Office Accelerator Special Holiday offer for CTM readers.
In the September 1993 issue of CTM, CTM9309.ZIP, I wrote a review on
Office Accelerator by Baseline Data Systems, Inc.
Below is an excerpt from that review:
I have been using a program for over a year, that is a contact
manager. It allows me to keep information on contacts, write
letters, place calls, and more. I have been reviewing, and trying
several other programs since then. I would not give up on this
program as I thought it was the greatest. It is an excellent
program. But, just recently, I was sent a program that IS the
greatest. Office Accelerator (OA) by Baseline Systems.
The first thing I liked about OA was the disk requirements. It only
asks for 2.1 MB of hard disk space. For what it does, I would have
given it 21 MB of space. As its name implies it accelerates your
office tasks, making you more productive in less time. This gives
you more time to play your favorite game, as long as the boss is not
around (grin)!
The whole program is so easy to use, that I was able to run the
installation, answer the questions, and use the program without even
opening the manual. I just looked at the Quick Start Card to get
going, and it only tells you the steps for installation. To install
you MUST close all open applications except Program Manager. OA asks
which word processor you have: WordPerfect, Ami Pro or Word for
Windows. It then asks what fax software (supports all major
products) you use (must have fax modem), if any.
I guess you can tell that I like this program. I have only one
regret. That is that I did not get this program sooner. If you use
any of the above features, and use any of the mentioned word
processors, and you do NOT own Office Accelerator, you are missing
out on a wonderful piece of software. I cannot see anyone being
displeased with this product. The product comes in single and
network versions.
I quoted the suggested retail price of $129.00, which is the correct
price. However, after the article was run, I received a letter from
the Director of Public Relations at Baseline. Part of that letter is
below:
Dr. Mr. Curro,
Thank you for your glowing article on Office Accelerator, OA. We
appreciate your thoroughness of your piece on OA.
You quoted our list price at $129.00, which is out suggested
retail price. OA's retail price is currently in the $79.00
range. However, we would be delighted to offer your subscribers
a special holiday season limited price of $39.90...
I was very pleased with the product, letter, and the offer for my
readers.
To take advantage of this offer is very simple. Either mail in the
attached coupon and form, or phone the 800 number for credit card
orders. Mention that you wish the ComputerTalk Subscribers $39.90
offer. You will receive it in a few weeks. Remember, this is a
limited-time offer, so don't delay.
