DevDepot Offers the QuickTime VR Authoring Studio
Bundled with Kaidan Products

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA -- January 16, 1998 -- DevDepot, announced
today it will offer the QuickTime VR Authoring Studio bundled with Kaidan.

The bundling of QuickTime with Kaidan comes at a great time as both
received great reviews at Macworld Expo - San Francisco last week.

The QuickTime VR Authoring Studio is now available for only $299 with the
purchase of KiWi+, QuickPan Magnum, or Magellan QC from DevDepot
between now and January 31, 1998. This is a savings of approximately $95
over the typical retail price.

Currently, DevDepot does not sell QTVRAS separately (although it
will if Apple decides to distribute the product through developer
channels).

This offer is not available with the purchase of the standard KiWi.
Additionally, upgrades from the original VR Suite are not available.

Order your Kaidan QTVRAS bundle today from DevDepot. Order via any
of the catalog's easy ordering channels. You can order via telephone (Toll
Free at 800-MACDEV-1), email, fax, or on the online shopping basket which
has 24-hour accessibility (via a continually updated website
(http://www.devdepot.com)).
