Huh?

By Sonia Siegmund

Since I have been including Apple Software Updates information in the Information Alley on a regular basis, I have had many e-mails expressing their thanks for this information. While the I feel that the Information Alley is a good way to spread the word about these new software updates, there is an even easier, more automatic way ¬ a mailing list. I have included instructions in this issue on how to subscribe to the mailing list and how to find the software updates online.
