Has anyone ever heard of the Macintosh Yellow Pages? From what I read it
sounds like a neat product. It's actually an electronic "Yellow Pages"
covering the Macintosh community. If the search function is fast enough,
I think it would be really useful. I can imagine one could type in anythings
that comes across mind, and the information feedback would instantly appear
on the screen -- something a little different from flipping through a paper
directory or the thick Yellow Pages.
The following is the info that I read on the Macintosh Yellow Pages. If
anyone ever saw the program, how about share the opinions with everyone else?
I certainly would be interested in hearing more about it
-------Here is what I read, for those who did not see it.------

Macintosh products. Included is a comprehensive listing of
Macintosh software, hardware, handbooks, magazines, user groups, and
dealers. An extensive indexing system enables the user to quickly
look up any information using a wide variety of synonyms.

the same product directly from the publisher or from local dealers
