- ====================Press release==================
-
- Summer has passed and the leaves are turning, a point often considered
- the end of one life and the imperceptible beginnings of another in
- a cycle that has no real beginning or ending. As it is with nature
- so it goes with the endeavors of humans, nations rise and fall, hemlines
- reveal more or less, and businesses prosper then fail, nothing is
- constant except the eternal Tao.
-
- Beagle Bros has closed it's business doors. The reasons are varied
- and sundry and the "what if's" are probably best left for nit-picking
- historians, I do not care to comment on it at this time. However the
- demise of BeagleWorks is only superficial. BeagleWorks has been acquired
- by WordPerfect Corporation and will rise anew under a different name.
- Rest assured the list of registered users is part of the deal and
- you will be supported. Flash has will be handled by Quality Computers
- as our Apple II products currently are.
-
- Most of the employees were hired almost immediately by local computer
- firms, some are leaving the area to take jobs out of state. Surprisingly
- for being in an economic "recession" there are a lot of software companies
- looking for employees. Personally I will take a sabbatical for a while
- and search for a future course, maybe it's time for major change in
- direction. I have my G.I. Bill to use up and will probably start school
- next semester. For the meantime I am remaining on here for a few weeks
- as a caretaker and to help with the transition. However, the phone
- lines have been disconnected and calling Beagle Bros will get you
- the intercept operator and a recording to callWordPerfect:
-
- WordPerfect Tech Support - 801-228-9901
- WordPerfect BBS - 801-225-4415
-
- You may also start checking the WordPerfect area here on AOL. The
- Beagle area will terminate in a week or so.
-
- I can't say much more at this time, it's tough to see this happen
- especially after putting ones heart and soul into the software. Farewell
- my friends, it's been a blast.
