DISCUSSION



    The high-performance CD Multimedia Kit for PCs offers all the

    components you need to advance your PC-compatible computer into the

    CD-ROM and multimedia revolution. This multimedia kit gives you access

    to the wealth of business resources, educational programs, reference

    libraries, software, databases, clip art, and games available on

    CD-ROM. It comes complete with an AppleCD 300i internal CD-ROM drive,

    AppleDesign Powered Speakers, Media Vision Pro AudioSpectrum 16 sound

    card, all necessary cables and software, and up to five multimedia CD

    titles. Kit contents exceed Multimedia PC Level 2 specifications.



    The AppleCD 300i is a double-speed CD-ROM drive that offers the

    versatility to read multisession Kodak Photo CDs (with Kodak Photo CD

    access software) and to play standard audio CDs. You can cut and paste

    music, sound, animation, photographs, and even movies into your

    favorite word-processing, presentation, and graphics applications.



    AppleDesign Powered Speakers equip your computer with CD-quality

    near-field stereo output, and excellent stereo separation and sound

    quality using controlled sound dispersion. Built-in noise circuitry

    provides clear sound, and each speaker is magnetically shielded for

    use near computer displays and peripheral devices.



    The Media Vision Pro Audio-Spectrum 16 sound card gives you the

    highest-fidelity sound available on a PC. It includes 16-bit stereo

    sound and an advanced music synthesizer, and is compatible with Sound

    Blaster and other popular sound file formats.



    The Apple Multimedia Starter CD provides an interactive exploration

    of CD-ROM and multimedia including samples of education, business, and

    home uses for multimedia and galleries of clip art, photos,

    QuickTime movies, sound/music, and more. Each kit includes Comptons

    Multimedia Encyclopedia, Apple Multimedia Starter CD, and your choice of

    additional free CD-ROM titles from a menu of over 30 titles carefully

    selected for value and quality.
