Apple Computer Inc is wishing its eWorld on-line service a happy first birthday this week and celebrated the event by hopping on the Internet and inviting all of Apple into its friendly Town Square. eWorld claims more than 90,000 subscribers and some 300 publishers. A Windows version is expected later this year. The latest version of eWorld, code-named Golden Gate, provides access to more information, and tools to manage the information better. It includes increased Internet access so that by clicking on an icon, users can view and work with widely-accessed Internet information in Usenet Newsgroups and File Transfer Protocol servers. Full eWorld access to the Internet’s World Wide Web is expected to be available next month. Direct on-line support from Apple is now offered, Apple has added an electronic mail agent that automatically sorts, filters, and responds to electronic mail messages in ways that can be fully controlled and personalised by the user. There is also a number of new tools and technologies for faster and better use of movie clips, colour photography and creation of interactive on-line magazines, Apple declared.
