Description

The Apple Internet Connection Kit is an integrated collection of Apple and third-party software that allows a Macintosh computer user to connect directly to the Internet quickly and easily. It's the perfect solution for users who want direct Internet access--today.

The popularity of the Internet continues to grow exponentially, as more and more people discover the amazing information and communication resources available on line. But navigating (or "surfing") the Internet requires more than just a desire to try it. You need a variety of software tools--browsers, viewers, file-transfer programs, e-mail, and more--as well as a qualified Internet service provider. In fact, setting up your computer for Internet connection can be a time-consuming process.

Luckily, Macintosh users who want to connect to the Internet already have one big advantage: right out of the box, the Macintosh is the easiest-to-use computer available. Now Apple has made direct Internet connection for Macintosh owners easier than ever.

With the Apple Internet Connection Kit, you get high-quality, "best of class" software in all of the categories you need for successful Internet access and use. You also get the Apple Internet Dialer, which makes signing up with a qualified Internet service provider and getting connected to the Internet a matter of minutes rather than days. Just double-click the application and fill in the blanks, and the Apple Internet Dialer will call a service provider for you. Within minutes, you'll be connected to the Internet--where you can send and receive e-mail, conduct research, plan your own travel itinerary, play games, shop, and much, much more.

Because dealing with the Internet sometimes raises more questions than it answers, the Apple Internet Connection Kit includes a "getting started" manual and special Apple Guide on-line help, as well as third-party documentation.

The Apple Internet Connection Kit--the easiest, fastest, most complete tool for connecting your Macintosh computer directly to the Internet.
