This section is where you can place small ads. They can be on any subject
that you like eg FOR SALE, WANTED, PERSONAL, MESSAGES, HINTS, TIPS ,USER
GROUPS etc. The only rule is that adverts must be submitted before every
issue of STEN. This is to rule out the possibility of the advertiser
dropping their service without telling us.
The adverts will be largely uncensored but obscene language and piracy
will not be tolerated!
Anyone who wishes to sell their own, home produced, software etc in these
columns may do so provided a copy is also submitted first to STEN.

***** HAVE YOU GOT THE POWER? *****
Well, if you haven't, get it now!!! POWER is a monthly disk
magazine that comes out on the first of every month. It is
written by me (James L. Mathews) and my readers. I am only 14
but even if you don't like reading all the News, Reviews,
Stories, Diary of an ST User, Articles, STOS Programming column
and all the other stuff then there's always loads of FREE P.D
that has been packed with the ice packer V2.4 to make sure that
I get EVEN MORE on to each disk for your enjoyment.
Issues 1-7 are P.D and can be obtained from me by sending a blank
disk and S.S.A.E. Issue 8 and future issues are of a higher
quality and have been taken up by POWERFIST licenceware where all
money made will go to helping enhance POWER. Issues 8+ are
charged at £2.50 per disk which can be sent to me and covers the
cost of the disk and p+p.
Issue 4 saw me writing the longest scroll text on any computer in
the World, beating the record set by the Exceptions in their
B.I.G demo. Issue 5 is a two disk issue and so is issue 8 but
with both issues, you CAN just obtain ONE of the disks if you
wish.
Try it out, because when you've got this disk magazine, you've
got the.........

OUTLAWS PDS
===========
Hi STEN readers, want PD software? I have over 570 Public Domain disks
which are all listed on disk. send me a blank disk and a stamped, self
addressed envelope to the following address, and in return I will send you
a disk which contains full details of all of my disks:
RAB GILMOUR,
OUTLAW PDS,
174 PRIMROSE LANE,
ROSYTH, DUNFERMLINE,
FIFE KY11 2UW
The rules for obtaining my disks are clearly stated in my catalogue disk,
but I'll list the rules here anyway. Here goes.............
1: You can swap public domain disks with me on a one for one basis.ie: If for
instance you want ONE of my disks, then you must send me ONE disk which has
public domain stuff on it. I don't want stuff I already have, so it's very
important to read my catalogue disk carefully before sending anything!!
One more thing, all my disks are full and any disks that you send must at
least be reasonably full. Sending a disk which contains a couple of desk
accessories (as some people have done) will result in no reply from me!
You must also include enough stamps to cover return postage okay?
This last point can't be stressed hard enough! By the way, I won't accept
pirated disks as swaps so don't send any "cracked" disks okay? thanks!!
2: If you do not have any programs to send but still wish to obtain copies
of my disks then you can send blank disks, but a charge of 80 pence per
disk ordered will be levied. You must also send enough stamps to cover
return postage.
3: If you do not have any programs or blank disks but still wish to obtain
copies of my disks then I can provide the disks for a resonable charge
of £1.50 per disk ordered, but if using this method you order 10 disks
or more, then the charge reduces to £1.00 per disk ordered. This charge
ONLY includes return postage and all packaging to your home address.
Payment must be in either cash or Postal Order ONLY. I will NOT accept
Cheques or Credit Cards! you have been warned!!
If you are worried about losing your disks, DON'T okay? I've been swapping
since September 1991, and nobody has lost any of their disks yet!!
Hope to hear from you soon!

WANTED - SPECTRUM +3 (or +2).
=============================
I managed to buy a duff Spectrum +3 for my kid at an auction. Ok, it was
only a fiver and I knew it probably wouldn't work. Unfortunately my son
doesn't see it that way and wants 'his computer'.
If nayone has an old +3 that they no longer need and are willing to sell
it fairly cheap get in touch. I'm thinking around the £30 - £50 mark
depending on what comes with it.
Alternatively, if anyone can fix it cheap... It boots to the copyright
screen and then sits doing nothing. Any help or info would be greatly
appreciated.

CANCER APPEAL
=============
This is only a short file so please take the time out to read it. Go
on it won't hurt...
THANK YOU.
PLEASE COPY AND SPREAD THIS FILE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
UPLOAD IT ONTO BBS'S, SEND COPIES TO YOUR MATES, WHATEVER, IT'S ONLY A
FEW BYTES LONG SO IT WON'T TAKE UP MUCH SPACE ON A DISK.
I have recently had a few bad experiences involving CANCER, affecting me
and several other members of my family. During this time the help, care,
support, attention and love shown by the various charities and nursing
staff was fantastic. For that I can't thank them enough.
Unfortunately the treatments for the disease are unpleasant to say the
least. The government gives virtually no help in the way of money to help
eradicate this disease so unfortunately its left to charities to find the
cash for research.
The point is this, I have been looking at ways to help. So here comes the
appeal.
I DON'T WANT ANY MONEY!!!!!!
All I want is stamps... yes, STAMPS!
I want your stamps either used or unused and they will be given to Cancer
Research in order to help them raise money to fight this awful disease.
Any stamps will do, and any amount will do.
I am hoping to collect 10,000 stamps (or more). So spread the word to all
your friends, enemies, relatives and anyone else you can think of so that
I can collect as many as possible for a very worthwhile charity.
Everybody gets letters occasionally so I am expecting to receive loads of
stamps soon. Get saving.
You can send your stamps to me, KEEFY at:
57 HEARSALL LANE
EARLSDON
COVENTRY
CV5 6HF
If you want further information you can contact me on:
(0203) 715921
If you send me over 100 stamps I will send you a disk of PD as a thankyou.
-----------------------------------------------------
Many thanks for taking the time out to read this file
-----------------------------------------------------
Please remember, it dosn't matter whether they are used or not, any
contributions are gratefully accepted.
Please DO NOT send me money though!
If you want to donate any money please send it directly to the charity.

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN
