"BBS in a Box" will be marketed by Wayzata Technology Inc. through mail order houses and direct mailers in the coming weeks at a retail price of $119.00. MacZone will be the first to carry this product with more distribution points to come.
"BBS IN A BOX" is the first CD ever produced for the Macintosh BBS that provides over 7,000 Macintosh files in compressed format with BBS directories for BBS or personal use. These directories are provided on eighteen topics including Art, Business, DA's, Games, Films, Newsletter Articles, HyperCard, Music, MIDI, Mac II, Movies, Telecommunications, Utilities, Word Processing and more! These files may be utilized with Telefinder or Second Sight BBS or as a huge personal database of Macintosh tools.
Not only will you find over 6,700 files available in compressed format in the "Files" folder on the CD but also image files of over 70 of the AMUG "Best of" series disks. Each image may be copied from your favorite topic folder using DiskCopy and placed on an 800K disk for distribution to User Group members. These "Best of" Disks are compiled by topic and more are produced each month. The AMUG "Best of" Disks are a wealth of information and a great fund raiser for User Groups! On Location and text file search tools are provided.
"BBS IN A BOX" will be updated every six (6) months based on the support for this product. We believe that this CD should make setting up a BBS complete with files an easy chore and regular updates keep new files aboard and make upgrading as simple as inserting a new disk. At $119.00 per CD and updates priced at $50.00 each, BBS operators and User Groups cannot afford to be without "BBS IN A BOX."
