Now, you can go from office to office without leaving your desk.
The enclosed Screen Test is a special trial version of Timbuktu software. It will allow you to see for yourself the benefits of screen sharing and file transfer using Timbuktu. See the screen of another networked Mac in a window—in full color—and even operate that machine remotely using your own mouse and keyboard. The Screen Test is a fully functional version of Timbuktu that allows you to share screens and transfer files among three Macintoshes for one week from the date of installation.
You’ll see why network managers find Timbuktu an invaluable tool for user support. And you’ll experience how Timbuktu can bring a new level of productivity to telephone conferences. Be sure to try some of the features we’ve added for version 4.0, including Clipboard Exchange for copying and pasting text and graphics over the network. Timbuktu fully supports AppleTalk Remote Access, so you can work remotely using a Macintosh PowerBook.
With the addition of value packs, Timbuktu is more affordable than ever. Contact your Farallon dealer for pricing on 10 and 30-user packs, and on the new 100-user Gold Pack. Please take a moment to go over the information below, as well as the enclosed documentation. The documentation is in Glue format.
-- The Screen Test includes all features of Timbuktu 4.0, but is not compatible with any copies of Timbuktu 4.0 you may already own. It will work for seven days from installation. You do not need to enter a serial number, and you can install three copies of the Screen Test per network zone.
-- The Screen Test requires System 6.0.4 or later (for color screen-sharing, System 6.0.5 or later and 32 bit Quick Draw version 1.2 are required), a Macintosh Plus or later, and one MB of RAM (2 MB RAM required for color screen sharing). The Screen Test is fully System 7 compatible.
-- To install the Screen Test, copy the contents (but not the folder itself) of the “Timbuktu” folder (located in the "More Information" folder on the CD) onto a floppy disk (or any other volume which is not your current startup disk). The Installer will not work when run directly from the CD-ROM or a startup disk.
-- If using a floppy disk, you must change the name of the disk to "Timbuktu" in order for the Installer to work correctly. Close all your currently open applications. Double-click the "Installer" application on the new Timbuktu floppy disk, select the volume onto which Timbuktu 4.0 Screen Test should be installed, and click "Install". The Installer will automatically reboot your machine after installation, so be sure all programs are closed before opening the Installer.
-- The Screen Test will automatically retain your TB2 Preferences file for continued use of your passwords if you decide to buy Timbuktu 4.0.
-- Quadra users must turn off the 68040 cache to run the Screen Test. The shipping version of Timbuktu can run with the cache on.
