In addition, there are 2 independent "AppleLinks". The original (classic ?)
AppleLink is an Apple-internal mail system, although people ouside of Apple
also have access (eg, Dealers, Certified Developers, university contacts,
government contacts, user groups, etc.). This started as a way for dealers
to communicate with Apple and eventually grew to include more groups of
users.
The other AppleLink is officially known as AppleLink Personal Edition. It
is a commercial service that anyone can sign up for. Right now only the
Apple II version is available. (I have been beta testing the Mac version,
but I don't know when it will be released.) Right now there isn't a lot of
Macintosh-oriented stuff on AppleLink PE, but that will change once the Mac
version is released.
I'm not even sure that the 2 systems are run by the same company (I have a
feeling they aren't.) The AppleLink PE program is much slicker than the
original version, and much faster.
