"Apple Reference, Performance & Learning Expert (ARPLE) was a performance support system by Apple. ARPLE CD packages were issued regularly the ’90s and contained software, user-guides, art libraries, and marketing materials. ARPLE was renamed to the "Apple Sales and Marketing Resource Library" in 1998 and later moved from a CD-based system to the Web."
