This tidbit is from:
Bryan, <monolith@internetMCI.com>
As I looked down the list of headlines over the weekend on CNN's website, I was anxious to read their article "PC's going back to school". As i loaded the page into Netscape, I fully expected to see a glaring absence of the iMac from the article, and was already thinking of what i would say in my e-mail meesage that would ensue.
Much to my surprise, and delight, the article was almost entirely about the iMac, mentioning the many recommendations made by such higher-ed institutions as Dartmouth, Wooster and Stanford.
Chalk up another one for Apple. All this great press is making our jobs a lot easier.

This announcement is from:
info, <info@neuronsys.com>
Deventer August 5, 1998. Neuron Data Systems is proud to announce the availability of the final candidate to MacCoach2.0. As its name already indicates, this is what we plan to ship as our final version. We'll allow for a period of two weeks to report bugs to <support@neuronsys.com>. In view of the limited number of minor bugs reported for MacCoach 2.0b3, we expect a few minor changes, if any at all for the final release of MacCoach 2.0. If your review was not printed yet, we request you obtain the final candidate to include the improvements since the beta release.
In our view, this release for MacCoach with its built in Application Crash Detection and comprehensive System Log sets a new standard in optimizing the availability of MacOS based server applications. We will however be more than glad to let our customers and reviewers be the judge of that. We welcome each and every suggestion for improvements on the current release.
MacCoach is co marketed by Apple Computer Europe. Customers in Europa planning to purchase a Macintosh G3 Server in the context of Apple Europe's Server Trade In program are eligible for a free MacCoach device and accompanying software.

This request is from:
<Ed.Fritz@westol.com>
I've got a client who runs a successful optometry business. For many years he had been using a well-written Filemaler Pro database on an SE and LCII for recordkeeping and billing. He decided to buy a new Wintel package "because there's no Mac software for my business", but after installing it he's had nothing but the usual Windows problems and the excuse from the software publisher (which will remain unnamed) that many of the promised features, such as billing "...will be included in future releases."
In frustration he's switched back to his aging Macs but needs to know if there's a Mac software package out there that will handle his business, which includes sale of eyewear as well. I told him if anybody knows the 'Listas will. If he finds a solution he'll be ready for a couple of G3s.
