Minn'apples Newsletter August, 1994 GOOD DEALS #11 by Ken Slingsby •^s^v
This is the eleventh in a series of articles which list good deals and press releases that have been brought to our attention via a news source established by Apple Computer Co, AppleLink. Due to the constraints of space in our newsletter and time available, the articles have been greatly condensed. All were posted in their entirety on the Club's BBS. To read the full articles, plead or beg a friend who has access to the BBS to copy it for you. As an aid in your review pf the articles, I have divided them somewhat arbitrarily into DEALS and Press Releases. The DEALS include price, dates available, and the address of the publisher or author. Most of the DEALS are special limited time offers of a significant price reduction. They are presented here as a service of Mini'app'les. The PRESS RELEASES are to make you aware of the new products. You may have to hunt to find a dealer that sup ports the product. Mini'app'les makes no claim as to the usefulness or quality of the products offered herein. The User Group does not endorse the products and is not supporting the products. The following is not paid advertisement. There may be other products mentioned on AppleLink not appearing here. If so, that is an omission, not a refusal of the prod uct. As in all purchases, buyer beware! There are at least two GOOD DEALS offered this month if several members want to pool their orders for a group purchase. If you are interested in coordinating a group purchase, please call Tom Gates at the number listed in the latest Newsletter. He has agreed to coordinate group purchases and try to avoid having multiple persons attempting to get the same discount. Then get the word out. You can use the BBS, this Newsletter, announcements at User Group meetings, and word of mouth to spread the details. If there is sufficient interest in group purchases, an opportunity will exist for someone to become a 'permanent' coordinator. In order to qualify for most of the items presented here, you MUST be a member of an Apple User Group. Be prepared to give your member number, and tell them that Mini'app'les sent you!
