COMPUTER MANIACS 1989 DIARY
---------------------------

Who said "A diary can't be fun"?

We don't know - but a diary TRIVIA QUIZ is just one of the exciting extras
we've added to make this the FUN DIARY OF THE DECADE.

BUT WILL IT TELL ME WHEN IT'S GRANNY'S BIRTHDAY?

(Yawn) Yes, of course it will, and her STARSIGN - but there's much more
than that. It gives you a DAILY HOROSCOPE, PHASE OF THE MOON, and WEATHER
FORCAST.

WEATHER FORCAST?!

That's what we said. WACKY SNACKS, BIG QUANDRY SOLVER, ALARM CLOCK,
RACTION TIMER, CRASH OF THE DAY.

CRASH OF THE DAY?!

Yes! Stop repeating everything we say! POOLS FORECAST, HEIGHT/WEIGHT
ANALYSER, MUTI-EGG BOILERAMA SYSTEM (M.E.B.S.).

WHAT?!!!!

Just input the size of egg and how you like it, and this amazing program
does the rest.

BUT I LIKE THE WHITE HARD AND THE YOLK RUNNY!

Easy!!!

Then there's the DAY/DATE CALENDAR, CONVERSION TABLES, DATABASE OF USEFUL
PHONE NUMBERS - Oh, and did we mention the GAMES, PUZZLES and FUN GRAPHICS?

CALL THIS JUST ANOTHER DIARY.... and we'll tell your Granny!
