Hi all, Unfortunately the text of the previous press release I postd contained a few errors, the most grievous one being that we will not be able to offer single dics for sale to non-subscribers. Sorry for the inconvenience. (Note: We goofed so we will be honoring the terms of the first release until Friday, May 17th) Below is the correct press release... --- For Immediate Release NAUTILUS to carry SYSTEM 7.0 on CD ROM. Dublin, Ohio - NAUTILUSSM (the CD ROM based subscription information service) is pleased to announce that Apple Computer, Inc. has granted permission for it to carry the new version of Apple's operating software, System 7.0 on its May 27th issue.
