          on whether or not to go spend your valuable time and
          money on a movie as viewed by the all the country's top
          Movie  Reviewers.  People like Rex Reed, Gene Shallit,
          Siskel and Ebert, Lyons and Medved, and hundreds of
          respected  newspaper columnists go into the makeup of these
          reviews.   So, you get a clear consensus on whether or not to
          see all the new movies and whether or not to waste
          your time and money.

          WHAT'S THIS CONTEST ALL ABOUT?

          When you listen to these reviews of current movie
          releases,  somewhere in the message, usually at the end, we
          tell you about what we have CHOSEN AS OUR

                        'FAVE RAVE' OF THE MONTH!

          When you hear these words, right down the name of
          the movie we are RAVING ABOUT.  Then, print up our
          subscription form, you'll find at the end of the Main Menu.
          Then fill it out and send it in to become a Subscriber.  Our
          rate is a very low Introductory $15.00 per year.  Less
          than any other magazine you might find on the News rack,
          mainly because we don't have to ever use up valuable
          forest and paper resources.

          So, here's how you BENEFIT as a subscriber. 
          1.  You get this information at the nation's lowest
          subscription rate.
      
           2.  You get movie reviews that will actually help
           you SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY, by not investing it in
          the LOSERS.
       
           3.  You get a Long Distance Service that is
          guaranteed to be the lowest of any Long Distance Discount Plan
          in the country.  This alone saves you the cost of your
          subscription every month!  4.  You get a Contest
          in which you can win thousands of dollars in cash and we
         also give away several valuable prizes every month.

          So, you can't lose, and you are actually going to
          gain financially and you'll become a better and wiser
          person by becoming a subscriber.  So, don't wait.  Pick
          up the phone right now, while you're thinking about it
         and listen to our Movie Reviews.  Or print out the Movie 900#
          and put it in a place that is conspicuous so that
          you can make the call when you get nearer to the
          weekend.
       
          OK?  The call costs an average of $6.00, but even
          at this price you are still saving money because of
          all the services we offer here.  And, more than
          likely, you'll win a couple thousand cool dollars in the
          next several months because our subscriber base right
          now is very low.  This is a completely new magazine.
        
          Therefore, you can figure that your odds of
          winning are better than any other contest of its kind in
          the country.

           So, subscribe now.  The contest is open only to
           SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.  But once you have become 
          a subscriber you can re-enter each month's contest 
           simply by calling our 900# and listening to the new movie 
           reviews and waiting to hear our new 

            FAVE RAVE OF THE MONTH - EVERY
            MONTH.

          Then, you merely send in your name and address on
          a plain piece of paper with the FAVE RAVE OF THE
         MONTH printed on it and you are automatically entered
          from that point forward for free.  Sooner or later, if
          you're lucky, you're going to win.  And even if you don't
          win the BIG CASH PRIZE, which will go up as we get
          more subscribers, you might win a Home Entertainment
          System, or a new computer, or any of dozens of computer
         add-ons, like printers, monitors, hard drives, Fax/Modems,
         etc.

          Now, you don't have to listen to our 900# movie
          reviews to become a subscriber.  All you have to do to
          subscribe is print out the form, fill it in and send it in.
          But without the FAVE RAVE MOVIE OF THE MONTH, you will
          not be entered into the contest.  So, the contest
          makes it much more fun, and more profitable for us, too
          which gives us the funds to pay out the prizes, so you
          see it's a WIN-WIN situation.

          Looking forward to hearing from you.

          AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, please PRINT OUT, FILL OUT
          AND SEND IN, our LONG DISTANCE SAVINGS PLAN FORM
          TOO. ...

          With this plan, you are guaranteed to save at
          least 10% off of your CURRENT DISCOUNT CALLING PLAN.
          Now,  that's saying a TON.  It means that if you are not
          already using a Discount Calling Plan, ours will
          save you at least 25% off your monthly Long
          Distance phone bill, because most savings plans are
          designed to cut this rate by about 15%.  Add our 10%
           ADDITIONAL  SAVINGS AND YOU'RE STARTING TO 
           SAVE BIG MONEY!

          And they'll even pay the $5.00 fee your local
          phone company is going to charge you to make the switch.
          Most services don't even tell you about that, let
          alone, pay for it.  But ours does.  So, it costs
          you nothing to start saving money right away.  We
          benefit too because we earn a small commission on
          your monthly phone bill, because we are a Non-
          Profit Organization and this company generously donates
          to our cause if we get them subscribers.  So, we see
          this as a great way to do business.  We give
          something to the community and they give back to us too.  If
          the government could only work this well!

          If you own a business, this could amount to
          several hundred or even several thousand dollars per year
          that you can spend on something else or just
          pocket it yourself.

          So, you see, we have designed several different
          ways for our subscribers to save far more money than
          they spend on us.  If every company did this for
          their customers, the world would be a very fair
          and reasonable place to live, don't you agree?


          We think this is a great way for both of us to get
          what we need.  We as publishers need subscription
          income to pay our staff, and you need a way to
          save money, not spend.  In this game, we have both a
          savings plan and a spending plan, but the savings greatly
          outweighs the spending.  So, we both come out
          ahead. AND, we are not even including the hundreds of
          dollars you might save by taking some of the
          recommendations you will read about in this highly informative
          magazine.  We will always be one step ahead of
          other computer magazines because we never have to wait
          for  the printer or the mailman.  When we finish our
          new issues, they're available on bulletin board
         systems all across the world.

          plan it will save you about 25% on your Long Distance
          PHONE BILL.  Now, for the average household that equals

         ( FOR THE WINDOWS VERSION ONLY ... )

          WE'D LIKE TO CREDIT THE FOLKS AT FARALLON AND THE
          LATEST VERSION OF REPLICA WITH WHICH THIS MAGAZINE
          WAS MADE. It's a very nice program, easy to use
          and  learn and doesn't even require much of a manual.

          The disk comes with a short pamphlet describing
           how to get started with the program.  Then, basically
          all you do is make your document using your
           favorite Windows Word processor.  Ours is still Word for
          Windows from Microsoft.  Then, you print your
          document to a Replica Print driver much like you
           do a fax document to a Winfax driver instead of the
          printer.  Then, Replica pops up and converts your
          document into what you are reading now.  A very
           nice and easy way to create Windows programs for people
          and especially nice for magazine publishers like
          ourselves, but you could also use it for corporate
          training manuals, electronic brochures, or even
          sophisticated E-mail products.

          We like it very much and will continue to be a
          Farallon user.  Their competition right now seems
          to be Acrobat from Adobe.  But Acrobat requires
          the end user to buy a copy of Acrobat at about $60 -
          $90 each.  Replica actually creates a reader
          version of your product and is a runtime version which
          means the reader, like yourself, doesn't have to invest
          any significant money to read your docs.  We like
          Replica better for this kind of publishing for this and
          other  reasons we'll get into in a more detailed review.
