"Apple is offereing a free [compact] disc containing technical support tools, the MiniFinder library of product reviews from MacUser magazine, and product previews from Microsoft, Farallon, SuperMac and Letraset. The disc is available by calling (800) 441-3001, ext. 100." -MacWeek 6 March 1990 What's even more amazing is that I called at 11:15 PM EDT on Sunday and someone answered and took my name and address!

No, there is not a non-800 number, and no, they can't send the CD outside of the USA. I guess that it is a USA only promotion. Questions, etc. should probably go to the CD-ROM product manager, Larry Kwan, at kwan@applelink.apple.com. --Brian Bechtel blob@apple.com "my opinions, not Apple's"

Yeah, but did you get your CD yet? I ordered one, too, and I don't remember if the lady on the other end of the phone told me when to expect it. --Adam-- -- Adam Frix via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!200.2!Adam.Frix INET: Adam.Frix@p2.f200.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG

I called the 800 number and asked them if they had a non-800 number as well for international callers. They gave me this number: (408) 974-2077 After calling this number, I discovered that this was Apple Customer Relations. Since this is Saturday, there was no one there, but they are there M-F from 9-5 PST. The operator at the 800 number believed that they could help you. -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: <backbones>!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)

Right thing, right way. At least they know _how_ to do it, now we have to work on _when_. --Adam-- -- Adam Frix via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!200.2!Adam.Frix INET: Adam.Frix@p2.f200.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG
