- AURORA SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES THE FIRST SOFTWARE SWEEPSTAKES!
-
- MADISON, WI --- July 23, 1992 --- Aurora Software announced today that it
- will sponsor the first software sweepstakes in an effort to promote user
- interest in NeXTSTEP(TM) utility software.
-
- "All too often users overlook the benefits offered by utility programs,
- when in fact the price/performance ratio for utility programs is much more
- favorable than that of large-scale applications," said Victor Barger,
- president of Aurora Software. "Corporate users are aware of this. What
- we need to do is convey this information to the individual user as well."
-
- Because utility programs are used on a day-to-day basis, the time savings
- they produce translate directly into enormous productivity gains.
- Furthermore, utility programs do not exhibit the steep learning curves
- associated with using more complex applications. The end result is an
- inexpensive means to increase productivity.
-
- When asked what effect he expects the software sweepstakes to have,
- Barger responded, "We aim to generate excitement in the NeXTSTEP software
- arena and promote widespread use of utility programs. I expect the software
- sweepstakes to do just that."
