- What is TidBITS?
- ================
-
- TidBITS is a free, weekly electronic newsletter that reports on
- interesting products and events in the computer industry with an
- emphasis on the Macintosh and electronic communications. We also
- occasionally publish full reviews and special issues focussing on
- a single topic. Founded in April of 1990, TidBITS has become
- popular with sophisticated readers around the world and has served
- to legitimize true electronic publishing.
-
-
- Timely Distribution
- -------------------
- Due to the speed of electronic network communications, TidBITS is
- far more timely than print publications, arriving at numerous
- locations around the world in a matter of hours.
-
-
- Global Distribution
- -------------------
- We distribute TidBITS worldwide, so each issue reaches readers in
- over twenty-five countries, including the emerging Eastern
- European nations and the former Soviet republics. Several thousand
- people receive TidBITS directly as electronic mail, and the rest
- download copies from the Internet, CompuServe, America Online,
- GEnie, Delphi, BIX, the British National Public Domain Software
- Archive, France's Calvacom, Japan's NIFTY-Serve, and thousands of
- small bulletin boards.
-
-
- Uploading and Sharing
- ---------------------
- We strongly encourage readers to redistribute issues to other
- online services and bulletin board systems. In addition, many
- collections of public domain and shareware software contain back
- issues of TidBITS.
-
-
- Easy Information Retrieval
- --------------------------
- TidBITS articles can easily be downloaded to a searchable archive,
- providing instant access to last month's or last year's news.
-
-
- Reprinting
- ----------
- Non-profit, non-commercial publications may reprint articles as
- long as the author and TidBITS are clearly credited. This policy
- further increases the reach of our articles and reviews.
-
-
- Environmentally Responsible
- ---------------------------
- TidBITS uses few natural resources and produces no waste. In
- comparison, print publications may use up to 200 tons of paper per
- month.
