- SOFTWARE
-
- The Voyager Company (Santa Monica, CA) and Chinon America Inc. are offering a
- special price break available only at the Voyager booth during MacWorld Boston.
- Purchasers of Voyager's interactive software will be able to buy Chinon's
- CDA-431 CD-ROM drive at the substantially reduced price of $495.
-
- The CDA-431, with a suggested retail price of $795, is available in PC and
- Macintosh versions and features a fast 350 ms access time, direct RCA audio
- outputs, a separate power supply, and easy portability. This promotion marks
- the first time that the drive has been made available to buyers at a price
- under $500. Ken Matsui, executive vice president of Chinon's Information
- Equipment division, expressed confidence that this price breakthrough would
- appeal to buyers. "The popularity of CD-ROM players is continually growing," he
- stated.
-
- The price promotion allows buyers to take advantage of the growing number of
- Voyager CD-ROM titles. The latest, Exotic Japan, offers a 150-lesson
- introduction to Japanese language and culture. The award-winning CD Companion
- series explores important modern and classical musical works. Voyager plans a
- major fall launch of a new CD-ROM product line, including children's programs
- and Baseball's Greatest Hits, which relives the sport's greatest moments with
- historic audio and video clips. Many of Voyager's products will be available at
- special MacWorld show prices.
-
- "This promotion offers a great deal on both high quality software and a high
- quality drive," said Robert Winter, author of the Ludwig van Beethoven:
- Symphony No. 9 CD Companion, the best-selling piece of CD-ROM music software
- ever marketed.
-
- Voyager is a publishing company exploring the uses of interactive electronic
- media. Their CD-ROM and videodisc software products use the personal computer
- to erase the arbitrary line between education and entertainment, offering
- unparalleled presentation of information, fully interactive learning, and
- exciting opportunities to exercise the imagination.
