Diablo Blue Article and Ad Information

Diablo Blue needs articles from the members of DVPC. See your name in print! Achieve fame and fortune!  (Well, maybe just some limited fame in Contra Costa County...)  We are particularly interested in product and book reviews and articles about your PC experiences.
Commercial advertising is available in Diablo Blue. Prices are $75 for a full page, $40 for a half page, and $25 for a quarter page for one insertion - or get three consecutive insertions for the price of two. For more information, call editor Ronald Ogg, at 283-7900, Ext. 201 (days). Members of DVPC can submit personal classified ads that will be printed in Diablo Blue for three insertions at no charge. The rules are simple: up to 9 lines (as we typeset it), material must be suitable for publication (the editor is the sole judge of suitability), the member must be in good standing (current dues paid), and ad space is available on a first-come first-served space available basis only. If you want fewer than three insertions note that on your ad copy. If members want their business card reproduced, the rate is $10 for one insertion, or $25 for three insertions. The card must be horizontal and must  be scannable.
Send your articles or member ad copy as email attachments to the Newsletter Editor, or mail to: Editor, Diablo Blue, P.O. Box 2222, Orinda, CA 94563-2222. See the deadline information in the Calendar on page 15 of each issue of Diablo Blue.
