331.0. "still cheap software at Instant Software" by KIRK::KYZIVAT (Paul Kyzivat) Tue Feb 17 1987 18:50

I was going by Instant Software in Acton this afternoon and stopped in to see 
what was left of their 1/2 price sale.  I was surprised to find quite a bit of 
stuff.

Specifically:

	Infocom games: $15
	Deluxe Video:  $35 or $40 (I forget)
	Deluxe Music:  $80
	Deluxe Paint (I): $35 (I think)

I believe these are all excellent prices.  I was tempted to buy Deluxe Video, 
but got to wondering if this might be an out of date version.  Is it one of 
those things that won't work with Kickstart 1.2?

    Yep, DeluxeVideo does not work properly with 1.2 or memory expansion
    beyond 512K.  They have not released a new version yet.  If you
    do use it with 1.1 and memory expansion, you won't be able to use
    polygon text and several of the requesters will be filled with crap,
    making them impossible to use.
    
    I wish EA would get the replacement out QUICK.  I'm surprised it's
    taken this long.

331.2ThanksKIRK::KYZIVATPaul KyzivatWed Feb 18 1987 12:205
I thought I remembered something like that.  It might still be cheaper to buy 
a discounted version and upgrade it later, but I guess I will take my chances 
on waiting until the details are known.

331.3Another Sale is PlannedCURIUS::TOMLINSONMon Feb 23 1987 16:206
    Re: Instant Software, I stopped in this weekend (they had great
    deals on books too) and heard it rumored that in two weeks they
    will be having another (1/2 price???) sale.  Check the "Independent"
    in two weeks.

331.4That's funnyKIRK::KYZIVATPaul KyzivatTue Feb 24 1987 18:294
My wife and son went in a day or two after I did and found that most of the 
low prices I reported had been marked back up.  Sounds pretty unpredictable.
