Subject: This isn't your ordinary Parallax "special"
Dear Friends,
Parallax always tries to attract new customers to our products (no
secrets here). We frequently have packaged specials to meet this goal,
so it can be hard to sort out the "deals" as a newcomer unless you're a
seasoned user of our products and know our different pieces of hardware.
This time the marketing department is out of control.
If there was ever an opportunity to get a really well-priced and
well-supported BASIC Stamp starter package from Parallax the time is
today: http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=90000. Heck, I
almost want to order a kit even though the hardware is free for me as an
employee.
This package is intended for newcomers between the ages of 8 and 100+.
It includes Andy Lindsay's all new "What's a Microcontroller?" 2.0 Text
and Parts Kit and a HomeWork Board (a BS2-IC module surface mounted
directly onto a 'BOE" style board). Andy did six months of work and
analyzed several years of educational feedback to develop this edition
of What's a Microcontroller. Everything from blinking LEDs to motion
control and music is in the book in a level of detail that ensures
success from all.
If we normally sold this as a kit it would be well over $140. We're
selling it at $79.00.
Our focus for this package is for new customers. For our current
customers like you it's appropriate to give this package as a gift to a
friend, child, new retiree or student looking into microcontrollers for
the first time. Even if you're just looking for another BASIC Stamp /
project board this is a deal on its own (give the What's a
Microcontroller Parts Kit and Text to a friend). Everything is well
documented.
We'll pull the plug on this promotion when the inventory runs low - it
has no closing date at the moment. We don't want customers to be upset
when the inventory is depleted but it will happen anyway, so get your
order in soon. If you have any questions about this package give us a
call (916) 624-8333 and ask for any one of us.
We're thankful for having you as a customer.
Sincerely,
Ken Gracey
Parallax, Inc.
