- APPLELINK CD
- ************
-
-
- AppleLink® CD is an information resource product on CD-ROM. It
- provides regular editions of Apple and third-party product and support
- information for a single annual subscription fee.
-
- Designed to offer the same easy access to information provided by
- AppleLink, Apple’s global electronic communications and information
- service, each edition of AppleLink CD features the latest versions of many
- AppleLink libraries and bulletin boards. Product and program information
- for Apple and third-party companies is included, along with software
- upgrades, documentation updates, and product enhancements. You can
- sample software demos and review new software programs. What’s more, the
- CD-ROM format permits Apple to extend the robust foundation of AppleLink
- content with information added exclusively for AppleLink CD users.
-
- In contrast to traditional on-line services, AppleLink CD lets you use
- your Apple Macintosh® computer to explore information and retrieve large
- documents without incurring on-line charges. Those who rely heavily on
- accurate Apple support information can search and browse as long as
- necessary without additional usage charges, and a multi-user version
- of AppleLink CD can be placed on a LAN as a shared volume, allowing
- additional users to share the information.
-
- AppleLink CD offers a high level of performance, easy navigation, and
- fast retrieval. And using AppleLink CD requires minimal training, if any.
- Installation is simple, and help is available as a standard menu item.
-
- Requiring no modems, special phone lines, or extra software, AppleLink
- CD offers a unique value in access to Apple and third-party support
- information.
