221.0. "Software Sales Flash" by CYGNUS::DEBRUYN (Tony - my AMIGA DOS it all for me) Wed Dec 17 1986 14:38

    o The Bit Bucket has a recently opened store at 621 Boston Post
    Road (rte 20) and is stocking up on AMIGA software.  My daily calling
    around to all AMIGA dealers just turned up newly arrived copies
    of the Enhancer (V1.2).  I ran down just after lunch and finally
    got my copy.  As of 2:00 today they still had 8 to 10 copies remaining.
    They also had a couple of copies of Deluxe Paint II and Flight
    Simulator II.  Marked prices are pretty much standard list, but
    then they gave me a 10% discount at the register.  The salesman
    was courteous and reasonably knowledgeable considering that they
    deal in four different brands of PCs in a branch office.
    
    o Instant Software on route 2A in Acton (next to Circle Furniture
    and the Joyce Chen grocery store) recently put almost all their
    software on sale for half price.  That includes Amiga, ST, Apple
    and IBM.  They say they are just cleaning out inventory, not dropping
    any lines of PCs.  The prices are great!  I have been reading all
    the ads for mail order software, but their prices are far better.
    There is not much choice, some games, some business software.  For
    instance, MAXIplan is about $70 instead of $140 list or about $110
    mail order.  Deluxe Paint (not II) is about $60 and they have Paint
    and Print Art Disks for $15.
    
    o Memory Location says that they expect a new batch of the Enhancer
    packages (V1.2) to arrive about noon on Friday.
    
    "All the news thats fit to type, as it happens, or as I find time"

	re: to 221.0, item 1 Thanks for info! Bought the Enhancer and was surprised when goodies not documented in a V1.2 book showed up. Without having freeware or FISH disks - I appreciated the MicroEMACS and PC (1020 drive) utility for copying MSDOS files. The freebees of a font editor and a demo of the elipse drawing with a new Extras/BASIC disk was also included.
