Apple Public Web Sites
This article is published regularly in the Info Alley. Since the last
time we included it was in April, we thought it was time again. Many
sites have been added since then. We have slightly modified the SETEXT
format for easier viewing of this article.
TOPIC
Apple Computer Inc. maintains a number of independent public Internet
sites. Many of them are indexed from the main Apple Web Page
(http://www.apple.com/documents/contents.html). However, this article
attempts to provide a more comprehensive listing of sites, including
those not linked to other sites.
This information is accurate as of the modification date of this article.
All URLs are verified once monthly, but, as with everything on the
Internet, they and their content are subject to change.
