About 6 months ago, I realized that Shareware Solutions II is sending out
a lot of orders using Priority Mailers, and that there was plenty of room
in those mailers to include 3rd party promotional materials.
 
I contacted just about every Apple II company and developer that I could
think of, and told them that I'd include their promo materials in those
mailers...for absolutely no charge; all they had to do was mail me their
promotional fliers.
 
Exactly one Apple II company took me up on that offer.
 
(So, if you get a package from Shareware Solutions II with a flier from 
The ByteWorks, now you know why...SSII believes in supporting those who 
support the Apple II.)
