What a novel idea, to actually develop a side-by-side comparison of Multiplan
vs. Lucid feature for those thinking of which one to buy.  Actually, it's been
done.  Call Portable 100 Magazine and get the current June edition.  Starting
on page 25, Terry Kepner discusses the return of Multiplan.  At the end of the
article is a plug for Robert Rice, who is selling Multiplan for $35.  Mind you,
I am selling "the same" Multiplan ROM and manual, direct from Tandy's warehouse
to you, for $19.50.
 
The very best ROM-based spreadsheet program for the Model 100/102 has always
been Lucid by PCSG.  PCSG is no longer in our marketplace but Lucid is.  PCSG
sold the manufacturing and selling rights to Mike Nugent, Tri-Mike Network
East.  Mike "Nuge" Nugent is also the publisher of Portable 100 Magazine.  His
ad for Lucid, on page 39, tells the story of Lucid.
 
So, there you have it.  A complete, unbiased, side-by-side comparison of
Multiplan and Lucid.
 
...and now, a word from our sponsor
 
 ITEM   PRICE   SUPPLY   VENDOR
 Lucid $99.00    Large   Tri-Mike
 Lucid $35.00  Limited   Club100
 
 Mplan $35.00  Limited   BobRice
 Mplan $19.50  Limited   Club100
 
So.. ahhmm... how do you like my spreadsheet display?  Gee!  See any
opportunities to $ave money? (snicker)  -Rick-
