       Office Accelerator Special Holiday offer for CTM readers.

    In the September 1993 issue of CTM, CTM9309.ZIP, I wrote a review on
    Office Accelerator by Baseline Data Systems, Inc.

    Below is an excerpt from that review:

    I have been using a program for over a year, that is a contact
    manager. It allows me to keep information on contacts, write
    letters, place calls, and more. I have been reviewing, and trying
    several other programs since then. I would not give up on this
    program as I thought it was the greatest. It is an excellent
    program. But, just recently, I was sent a program that IS the
    greatest. Office Accelerator (OA) by Baseline Systems.

    The first thing I liked about OA was the disk requirements. It only
    asks for 2.1 MB of hard disk space. For what it does, I would have
    given it 21 MB of space. As its name implies it accelerates your
    office tasks, making you more productive in less time. This gives
    you more time to play your favorite game, as long as the boss is not
    around (grin)!

    The whole program is so easy to use, that I was able to run the
    installation, answer the questions, and use the program without even
    opening the manual. I just looked at the Quick Start Card to get
    going, and it only tells you the steps for installation. To install
    you MUST close all open applications except Program Manager. OA asks
    which word processor you have: WordPerfect, Ami Pro or Word for
    Windows. It then asks what fax software (supports all major
    products) you use (must have fax modem), if any.

    I guess you can tell that I like this program. I have only one
    regret. That is that I did not get this program sooner. If you use
    any of the above features, and use any of the mentioned word
    processors, and you do NOT own Office Accelerator, you are missing
    out on a wonderful piece of software. I cannot see anyone being
    displeased with this product. The product comes in single and
    network versions.

    I quoted the suggested retail price of $129.00, which is the correct
    price. However, after the article was run, I received a letter from
    the Director of Public Relations at Baseline. Part of that letter is
    below:

        Dr. Mr. Curro,

        Thank you for your glowing article on Office Accelerator, OA. We
        appreciate your thoroughness of your piece on OA.

        You quoted our list price at $129.00, which is out suggested
        retail price. OA's retail price is currently in the $79.00
        range. However, we would be delighted to offer your subscribers
        a special holiday season limited price of $39.90...

    I was very pleased with the product, letter, and the offer for my
    readers.
