Original IBM Aptiva PC Software
The original IBM Aptiva PC software is a complete backup of all software originally loaded on your Aptiva PC's hard disk.
This CD-ROM program is for backup purposes only. It may be used only with an International Business Machines Corporation Aptiva Personal Computer system. This disc will not function on other computer systems. The backup software included on this CD-ROM was pre-installed on your hard disk at the factory.
