15 Cybermate and The 80 Notebook Going Out of Business

Out of Business
Out of Business:
The 7th issue ended with the following statement:
Due to ovenwhelming competition (trying to get a piece of the market) from the over 3000 small TRS-80 products firms, sources of cost effective advertising (since the CIE S-80 Bulletin went out of of business in August), very poor circulation (presently about 350) and poor sales this past summer, we are forced to go out of business. We appreciate your interest in our company’s products and publications and wish to leave you on a friendly basis.
Due to our current poor financial condition, we are offering the following:
For those of you with one year subscriptions, we are including a copy of our 41 program listing package with this last issue of The 80 Notebook. Our package is an ideal substitute for the remainder of a one year SUBSCRIPTION and it represents more material than was planned for the remainder of the first subscription year. If you already olm one of our 41 program packages, keep this second copy and you may request any two programs on cassette from our product line of 41 programs.
Our two year subscribers can request 5 programs on cassette as a substitute to their second year of The 80 Notebook.
Our three year subscribers can request 10 programs on cassette as a substitute to their second and third years of 80 Hotebook.
We hope this will be satisfactory as we have done our best to be fair with the resources we have left.
GOOD-BYE and GOOD LUCK
