This article is published regularly in the Info Alley. Since the last time we included it was in April, we thought it was time again. Many sites have been added since then. We have slightly modified the SETEXT format for easier viewing of this article.

TOPIC

Apple Computer Inc. maintains a number of independent public Internet sites. Many of them are indexed from the main Apple Web Page (http://www.apple.com/documents/contents.html). However, this article attempts to provide a more comprehensive listing of sites, including those not linked to other sites.

This information is accurate as of the modification date of this article. All URLs are verified once monthly, but, as with everything on the Internet, they and their content are subject to change.
