- Subject: CD-ROM based magazin for NeXT is shiping
-
- Hi All,
-
- The first issue ( JAN-FEB ) of NeXT Bimonthly CD-ROM started shipping two
- weeks ago. I am sorry for the delay, I was planing to ship it sometime during
- Christmas but the factory that was doing the manufacturing closed down for the
- holidays. The next issue (MAR-APR ) will ship on time (last week of February )
-
- This CD-ROM will contain about 125 Meg's of software, but the next issue will d
- be about 300 Meg big. All the files are Rockridge to maintain NeXT type of
- filenames.
-
- The price for one year subscription(6 CD's ) will stay at U$49.95 until
- Feb 1st, then it's $99.95, because there is an ad on NeXT World Extra (
- February ) & an ad on NeXT world for this product. Also if you want you
- can purchase a 2 year subscription for $99.00, until February.
-
- Many people wanted to know how this low price is possible, most of the
- manufacturing cost ( prmastering and mastering of the CD's ),is being paid by
- commercial software venders, to see there demo software on our CD. So as a
- subscriber you end up paying only for the Cd's and postage. Another importent
- thing is that we are NOT working for big profit margins rather we are just
- bunch of people who LOVE NeXT.
-
- Also I would like to say that this project is funded by the Canadian Governmentt
- in the from of a long-term ( 5 yrs ) loan.
-
-
- Only in Canada
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Did you know that it cost me less to mail the CD's to US then mail the CD's
- from Canada to Canadian subscribers.
-
- Thanks

- address and phone number, I will ship the first issue and bill you.
