BOOK HIGHLIGHTS: NETWORK YOUR MAC is designed to teach the reader the basic level of understanding necessary to allow them to network their MACs with LocaTalk or Ethernet. It is also a reference book with step-by-step instructions to familiarize the reader with the tools, cables, hardware and software used to build a network. The current revision includes how to connect MAC's and PC's together as well. Want to know more? See the Table of Contents.

AUDIENCE: Written for novices and network managers alike. It is for those who want to design, install, maintain and expand their Macintosh network, but do not want to know what is happening at the "bit level" on the wiring itself. NETWORK YOUR MAC will take the reader from opening the box to testing networks with a minimum amount of effort and with no previous skills. A simple, beginner's level of understanding of the required software and hardware necessary will allow readers to become true network administrators.

HERE'S OUR REGULAR SPECIAL PRICE: Since the original publisher of NETWORK YOUR MAC (Cardinal Business Media) has discontinued operations of their book division (they also publish a number of successful magazines), AlaTec Associates has purchased their entire remaining stock. However, we don't need quite that many copies laying around, so... we're offering a great deal to anyone who wants to take advantage of the situation. AlaTec Associates is offering Network Your Mac for 21% off the cover price of $19.00, the special price is $15.00 + $4.00 Shipping and Handling, or $19.00 total! That's like getting the book for no shipping charges at all! This will now be our regular price.

SIGNED COPY COLLECTORS - NOTICE!: If you'd like your copy autographed, please toss in an extra $1.00 or so (for the author) and you will recieve a copy personally signed by him. Special requests for named autographs will be submitted to the author when possible.

HOW TO ORDER (Five Ways!) In order of preference:

Check by Mail
(BEST WAY TO ORDER, EASIEST FOR ME TO HANDLE)

Send your Name and Full Mailing Address along with a Check or Money order for the amount from the chart above in US FUNDS made out to:
AlaTec Associates
PO Box 4722
Huntsville, AL 35815-4722
As soon as your check arrives, we'll enter your order and process it immediately. Your book will be mailed out via Priority or Air Mail. There are plenty of copies right now, so don't worry about missing out on the deal while your check is in the mail.

Credit Card
via Mail or FAX
(** Credit cards not accepted for SUPER SPECIAL **)

We're trying to offer as many payment options as possible, so we're now offering credit card purchase. Since we have not been set up yet, credit cards are still a little tricky for us right now. We have to process them by allowing a dealer to handle the sale. Your price will be the same, but it will be sold through one of our dealers in the area. If you would like to order via VISA, MasterCard, or Discover Card, you can mail us the information. Be sure to include your Card Number (check it for accuracy), the Expiration Date, the Type of card, and your signature that it's ok for us to charge to your card. We'll process your charge and get your book right out to you and include the name of the dealer who processed your order (currently American Speedy Printing) so you'll know why a charge from them appears on your credit card statement. Remember, for faster delivery, you can FAX your credit card order to (205) 881-9910.

Credit Card via Email

This will work pretty much as the credit card system above. If you are concerned about sending your credit card number to us by email, you may want to consider sending 1/2 of the number in one message, and the other half in a second message a little later. That way, it is VERY unlikely that anyone would intercept both messages.

Purchase Order

If you work for a US major corporation, state or government agency, or a school, we will accept purchase orders. Sorry, purchase orders not acceptable from small or non-US companies. (If you have to ask yourself if your corporation is a "major" corporation... it's not. <g>) Be sure to include all the information on the purchase order including a contact name so we can address the shipment correctly.

Automated Entry Online
(This is not set up yet, please be patient with us)

Hopefully, you will soon be able to just go to our Order Page and enter your order information and order your copies online. It's not ready yet, however, so check back later if you prefer this method.
