I got home today to find a surprise in my mail box.  Avant-Garde Systems
sent me my discount coupon for pc-ditto II.  These coupons are supposed
to be sent to all registered owners of pc-ditto.  They entitle the person
to buy pc-ditto II at half-price ($150).  There were a couple of interesting
things on the coupon.  For example: "NOTE: pc-ditto II is a user-installable,
solderless circuit board which clips inside your ST... pc-ditto II is
warranted only when installed in an Atari ST with no modifications to the
68000."  I had heard that pc-ditto II would plug into the cartridge port,
but obviously I heard wrong.  Also on the card was: "OFFER EXPIRES
AUGUST 31, 1989." with "PURCHASE OFFER EXTENDED TO OCT. 15, 1989." stamped
in red letters across another section of the coupon.  Thank goodness, since
I didn't get the coupon until August 30th.  I guess the coupons must have
been printed a while ago, and when pc-ditto II fell a little behind, they
stamped all the cards with a new expiration date.  Also on the coupon:
"Money order or cashiers check only, No personal checks or credit cards,
Please." and "Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery."  If you have questions
about pc-ditto II, the phone # on the coupon is (904) 221-2904 [9 to 5 EST,
MON thru FRI].  Thanks, Avant-Garde Systems for living up to your earlier
promises.  Rest assured that I will be ordering my pc-ditto II quite soon.
Oh, you probably already know this, but just incase, I have no affiliation
with Avant-Garde Systems, except as a satisfied user of pc-ditto.
