Subj: REPLY TO MSG #3092 (WP2 STUFF)

John: Welcome aboard.  Your WP-2 is a dedicted word processing computer.  And,
although it has the ability to run other programs, up till now, no other
programs have been avilable.  I recently contracted a fellow Club 100 member,
WP-2 owner, and programmer to write some WP-2 applications.  I selected this
individual since he had already wrote one WP-2 application.  I have his latest
collection in house and am about to start testing the programming, checking out
the docs, and preparing the marketing and pricing/royalty arrangement.  I'll
post information on this BBS, and via a post card mailout to all WP-2 owners in
the club like yourself, when it's ready for market.
 
I've got a few disk drives.  They are pre-owned but not used.  They've just
been checked out and are in excellent working order.  They are the TPDD2 (Tandy
Portable Disk Drive 2) drives that work with the WP-2, as well as the Model
100, 102, 200, and NEC8201 under TS-DOS/NEC.  I'm placing them on the market
for $140.  This includes shipping and insurance.  Club 100 stands behind its
hardware by replacing or money back if you are not satisfied with the product,
or it does not work correctly.
 
As for a BBS dedicated to the WP-2, or one with WP-2 information on it in your
area, I'm not sure that one exists.  The WP-2, unlike other computer stuff, did
not sell all that well.  Also, most WP-2 sells went to school districts and
non-technical types, i.e., not the type to go online, or join user groups, and
certinly not programmers.
 
Hope this helps... -Rick-
