The Michigan Bally Users Group


Dear Friend,

The Michigan Bally Users Group has just become aware of a mass mailed letter by 
a Mr. Fred Cornett soliciting money in return for purported publications, 
manuals, software and repair services through the mails.

As a group concerned with the welfare of other users as well as the credibility 
of the manufacturer we wish to take issue with certain statements in this 
letter that are questionable.  These statements have been highlighted in yellow 
and numbered to correspond with the following comments from us:

     1. The word, "instant" is poorly chosen. We are all too familiar with the
        to 6 month waiting period from the time you send your check to the time
        your order comes.

     2. "Hundreds of Games?"  In 2 years he has only published 14 issues,
        averaging 3 games per issue. "dozens of games" would be more fitting.

     3. Wait? See Comment #1 above.

     4. Question: Will they ever arrive?  See #1 above.

     5. Is he selling his services as a critic, telling us which of
        Astrovision's products not to buy?

     6. As sometime consultant's to Astrovision we have been referred to owners 
        who have sent their units to Fred for service and were still waiting 
        after 6 months.

     7. We do not know of one that IS satisfied.  8. Does Astrovision know
        about this "support?"

     9. Only 4 issues in 15 months is "fulltime?"  He claims 14,000 subscribers 
        in paragraph two.  This is robbery.

     10. Notice he says "12 issues," not 12 months.  At this rate a 12 issue 
         subscription would run 4 years or more.

We call your attention to these statements to show our concern for potential 
Astrovision customer dissatisfaction with an individual who has a history of 
making claims he cannot substantiate and making promises he does not keep.
