- We're looking into offering subscriptions to the printed version
- of the San Diego OS/2 Newsletter. At the moment it appears we will be
- able to offer a $25 subscription for 12 issues of the newsletter
- mailed to addressed in the United States. Overseas postage would be
- additional. Each issue would contain at least 20 pages of editorial
- content. We will probably start with bimonthly July/August and
- September/October issues to get started with the subscription effort.
- This will allow us to reduce printing costs by having larger print
- runs of each issue as the initial group of subscribers sign up.
- We would then move to a monthly issue after the first two issues. As
- we've had a track record of putting out one printed newsletter each
- month since December 1992, we believe we can keep going at that
- rate after we've ramped up to a sufficient number of subscribers to
- make printing costs affordable for monthly issues.
-
- The INF and ASCII versions of the newsletter will probably be
- continued, but most likely they will trail the printed version by
- about one month.
-
- The printed version may also have advertising from OS/2 vendors. We
- think that the advertising would be of substantial benefit to OS/2
- users as it is yet another way to find out about new OS/2 products.
- Moreover, it would help us fund additional pages for more articles and
- reviews. As far as advertising rates would go, we do not have
- anything determined yet but as our newsletter is targetted towards
- OS/2 users, it would be a valuable way for vendors of OS/2 products to
- reach an OS/2 audience.
-
- We would like to know what you think of our ideas and whether you'd be
- willing to subscribe or advertise in our newsletter. Please send us
- email with your feedback to the following addresses:

- As we are hoping to make a final decision on this by late June, the

- subscribe or advertise, the better.
