There are lots of ways to find out about available vertical market programs for the Macintosh. 1) Go to any authorized dealer and ask them to use Applelink to find a listing. There is a section on Applelink devoted to third-party products which contains names, addresses, and brief descriptions of each of the products. 2) Any Apple Field Engineer has a CD-ROM called the Apple Reference & Presentations Library which contains (among other things) a listing of 2,067 different third party products. In the area Health Services-Medical it includes 55 products. 3) Several quarterly magazines contain large lists of vertical third-party products. I have an old copy of MacGuide, but there are several other magazines in this field. --Brian Bechtel blob@apple.com "My opinion, not Apple's"
