(Phone call to a software publishing company.)
HELLO
I've got this program here and maybe you'd be interested in buying it.
Right now it only runs on Osborne equipment, but if you want to buy it,
I'll rewrite it for Radio Shack. Color could be added later on.
I've shown it to several people here and they all like it - it's got 290
lines of BASIC code, so maybe you'll like it too. Do you use BASIC much?
Do you have an Osborne? You'll want one to try my program before I revamp
it - I don't want to invest any more time in it unless you want to buy it.
Maybe you could find an Osborne in the newspaper used equipment ads.
It's a program that community fire houses can use when they coordinate
bazaars or group lawn sales and we've tried it twice at the town strawberry
festivals and also we have this ambulance coin toss where money is coming
in and the program does all the accounting and prints a couple reports.
I'll bet you've never seen a program like this, have you?
People I talk to say that every community has need for something like this
and if you are seriously considering this type of program, I could mail
it to you as soon as I write some documentation and fix this one bug we
found that happens every time someone enters two-dollar bill donations.
I don't own all of the program - Dr. Spellman the local dentist helped me
write part of the program, but we can split the royalties, or you could write
two checks when you buy it. It's a real winner, everyone tells me.
You're not coming through here next week, are you? Because if you are,
we'll have it all set up at the firehouse until Thursday, unless you want
to come to my house on Friday.
Shall I mail it? I'll need a non-disclosure statement from you. (Actually
it's the dentist who insists on it.) Also a small advance would help too.
Shall I send it overnight or COD express?
