Worrall at COMPUTER WORK$HOPS BBS (401) 397-3966 (401) 397-9676 (VOICE/FAX) ---------------------------------------------------------- PowerVision BECOMES REALITY After two years in development, we are proud, happy, and excited to usher each of you into the 21st Century with the announcement that PowerVision is real. Most of you are aware that PowerVision software was sent to our subscribers in April when our Beta Test began. Our Subscribers have watched PowerVision take shape on-line and have been instrumental in helping to guide us through our infancy. Where Are We Today? --> Local phone numbers via BT Tymnet will be activated within the next week. --> On-line ordering wil be activated and major services including NPP's, EFM and Picture Perfect Personals and Properties will be on-line by June 30. --> Checks will be cashed and charge cards billed for software fees during the second week of June. --> Commission checks will be mailed June 15. --> Within the next week, one or more on-line updates of your soft- ware will occur when you log on to PowerVision. After connecting you will receive a message telling you of the update. Probably, you will not have to do anything but wait for the update to be completed. If any action is required by you, there will be a simple instruction message. When the update is complete, you will receive a message telling you that the update was successful. If you do not receive this message, please call customer service. --> One of these updates will allow you to begin using the local access numbers. The message at the end of the update will inform you that the numbers are now available. After this update, con- tinue to use the 546-5220 number for access if it is not a long distance call. If you will be using one of the other local access numbers, disconnect and go to your set-up screen. Change the PH # to your local number listed in the directory that came with the software. Change CONNECT MEANS to DIAL BT TYMNET. Hit F10 to save and then press CONNECT. --> The official start date for PowerVision is July 1. --> The "free month" (2 hours) of PowerVision for pre-launch sub- scribers will begin July 1. All access time in July beyond the two free hours will be billed at $.09 per minute. --> New terminal software including all the enhancements will be mailed to all subscribers before July 1. PowerVision Embodies the Future PowerVision is now taking it's first real steps into the world. We invite all of you to celebrate with us and to get ready for the new developments that we believe will cause our growth to skyrocket in the coming months. Our first task is to realize that we are the pioneers in the use of this new technology. That means we must be the first to stop looking for paper communication and look to our computers as a quicker, more effective means of transferring information. In keeping with this, written downlines and newsletters will no longer be sent out by the corporate office. Everything will now be on-line. All notices of our changes and our developments will be "published" on the first of the month in an on-line newsletter. Downlines are on-line now, updated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening. Jeff Cohen will be changing his on-line message each Friday. When available, start order- ing your marketing materials on-line. And communicate with the corpor- ate office via Email. We check our mail regularly. It's Time to Seize This Opportunity We must also realize that it is time to raise our energy level and renew our marketing efforts. The corporate office is geared up and ready to help all associates and subscribers... with any customer service, vendor or marketing issue. No hints now but new marketing materials are in development for introduction during the next several months. And remember, Jeff will fly anywhere if an audience of 100 can be guaranteed. PowerVision is an incredible reality. Together, we will all move ahead to a future more fantastic than we ever imagined. *************************END*OF*ARTICLE******************************
