SWINDON, ENGLAND, 1990 JAN 13 (NB) -- The UK CD-ROM User Group has announced it is offering free membership to bona fide educational establishments, thanks to a sponsorship deal with Images & Data, the Swindon-based computer consultancy group. Paul Fletcher of the CD-ROM User Group told Newsbytes that Images & Data is hoping to promote the benefits of CD-ROM usage among the computer community, hence they are paying the educational establishment's annual membership, which normally costs UKP 49 ($75). "Membership of the user group entitles bona fide educational sites to receiving our monthly newsletter, as well as the opportunity to purchase CD-ROM items from five companies we have negotiated deals with. It's an ideal opportunity for educational sites to obtain a discount on kit and software, free of charge," he said.
