Hi guys!
I found this disc in the basement
Maybe someone knows any information about it
I googled it but didn't find anything worthwhile.
What is this disc used for?
Where were they distributed?

Looks to me like a multi-purpose disk to be used in computer stores.

Maybe stating the obvious, but "Electronic sales person" and "In store promotions" look like applications to run on a computer that is on display in a computer shop. Could be just a presentation demo or maybe it include some kind of interactive program to advise potential customers in the shop (ie. buy Intel, only Intel 😉 ). The other 2 titles look more like instructions to sales staff.

In any case, thanks for sharing! Nice little artefact from times gone by. How about getting the program to run and report back what you find? Or consider archiving it, or pass it along to someone who appreciates this kind of thing!

Ha! A way newer version (RXT 2021) was on my ex-demo Huawei MateStation S and, while being a bit less enthusiast on the processor merely calling it "AMD", it did call it a "Notebook" and my Flatron 776FM a "31.5 inch Full HD" monitor!
