- CD-ROM Based Magazine For NeXT Computer
- ---------------------------------------
-
- I am happy to announce the first ever low cost CD-ROM based magazine
- for the NeXT community. Here are the information in Q&A format.
-
-
- What would be included on the CD-ROM ?
- ---------------------------------------
- Public domain, shareware and commercial (Demo only please :-))
- software. DTP TIFF's, Sound File, Logon TIFF's, EPS files, sound
- files, Fonts, education programs.
- For your reading pleasure we would include FAQ, Internet
- Archives, News letters from various user groups and Media release
- that is sent to us. Software bug fixes that is submitted to us by
- software company or users.
-
- What format is the CD-ROM ?
- ---------------------------
- The CD-ROM is in Rock-ridge format so you get real NeXT file
- names not the IS0-9660 MS-DOS format.
-
-
- What is the frequency of the issues ?
- -------------------------------------
- Once every two months (6 times a year ), But I would like to
- go to 12 issues a year if there is enough demand from NeXT users,
- the price increase would be about 50 %.
-
- OK, so how much does it cost ?
- ------------------------------
- The following price are for one year subscription :
-
- Until Dec 31 or for the first 300 subscription:
-
- For US shipping address U$49.95 for 6 issues
- For Canadian shipping address C$59.95 for 6 issues
- Outside US & Canada U$69.95 for 6 issues
-
- All the above prices include shipping and handling. Canadian
- residents should add G.S.T (Ontario residents P.S.T please )
-
- From Jan 1st the price would be increased to $99.95 for 6 issues
- due to the high cost of advertising in NeXT & other related
- magazines.
-
-
- Holiday Note : Since this is the holiday season and if you would
- like to send a gift subscription to some one you know then I can arrange
- something, E-Mail me for more info.
