Ouch, TabDamage... :)

: Announcing the 'Premiere Issue' of Graphics & Sound Magazine OmniSoft Disk
: Shareware 'GS MODS', the first and only (SHAREWARE) magazine on a disk devoted
: to the IIgs, featuring all graphics, fonts, sound, music file types and formats

Yuck, why pay shareware for that? :)

: While reviewing many issues of both; SoftDisk GS and GS+ magazines on disk, I
: realized that they both are great publications and offer a lot to their readers
: but,
: they don't really have a didicated format for what the G and the S in the IIgs
: stand for, namely Graphics & Sound !   I consider the IIgs to be a great home,
: business and personal computer for graphics and sound applications.  So, I've
: decided to start publishing 'GS MODS', each month as a shareware.

can't you find anything better to do, Dr. Tom?  This is lame, I thought you
were gonna do that cheap FTA-II group, which turns out to be a nothing, knowing
that I've heard you put Tim Meekins in the group, and he didn't even agree. :)

A total idiot could do this.

:  
: I plan to have the following contents in 'GS MODS'; (A)  ALL SHR GRAPHIC
: FORMATS,  GS FONTS AND SHR FONT PICTURE FILES FOR THE IIGS, (B)  ALL MUSIC AND
: SOUND/SAMPLE FORMATS FOR THE IIGS, (C) ARTICLES AND REVIEWS DEALING WITH ALL
: SHR GRAPHICS AND MUSIC/SOUND/SAMPLES, P8,P16,GS/OS SHR GRAPHICS/MUSIC AND SOUND
: PROGRAMS.  (D)  NDA'S, CDA'S, PIF, TIF, ETC. AND SO ON.  FILES FOR SHR
: GRAPHICS, MUSIC,SOUND AND FONTS.

(A) Fonts and graphics... blah... why pay shareware?
(B) ALL?  I'm sure...  Who wants to pay for sounds?
(C) Articles?  Hell, if you're writing them (judging from the way you wrote
    this flyer, I'd pay NOT to see them.
(D) What?  Are you gonna go download files and sell them, wittel baby?
    I don't think you can program for ****, judging from this flyer.

:  
: There are an estimated 1,000,341 IIgs in use around the world,  with over
: 200,000 devoted graphics and sound/music oriented users !

Who made that estimate?  1,000,341? :)  Nice round figure. :)

:  
: I'm asking all of you that read this announcement and want to submit your
: original contributions for review and consideration for inclusion in 'GS MODS'
: to please send them to me promptly.  I've got enough material for the 'GS MODS'
: on hand to allow me to release 4 or 5 issues but, the more I have to review the
: better the publication will be with each future issue released.

Translation : 

Send me money, and I *MIGHT* do it.  I may get tired, and just LIE like I did
about the World Software Wizards, or whatever the **** you were talking about.
It's a hoax.

:  
: I look forward to your reply, contributions and comments.
:  

How are you going to get replies without an email address?  You've got my
comments, and contributions?  Well, let me wait a while, and when I need to
go to the little boys' room, I'll sure give you my contribution.  I'm pretty
sure you won't like it. (|) (Ahh, relieved.)

: Apple IIgs Forever !

Sure sure sure.  Hoaxer.
