Why Apple?

One day we ail hope to .sec the

reliin.li ofthe Amiga with a

PowerPC processor and oiher

new features to enable it to

compete again with today's

systems. Sadly though, more

than I years .since Commodore's

demise, iittlc of substance has

actually happened. We've seen

prototypes and heard promises...

we all hope.to see new Amiga

developments.

Only Apple offer you both

desktop and portable computers

that truly match the ease of use

the Amiga brought to your

desktop. Affordable Apple

Macintosh systems have

PowerPC RISC processors with

thousands of off-the-shelf

programs available in areas

where the Amiga was always

previously so strong.

if you can't wait and need more

performance today, without

paying ffijtrearth - there's only

one real alternative to consider,..

There's never been a better Bme

to think Apple!

And, if you need the most

compatible ot all computers,

Macintosh is currently the only

system that can run MacOS,

DOS and Windows applications

via optional DOS Cards or

SoftWindows software.

■Why Macintosh?

All Macs arc PowerPC based Even unity level desktop

systems run at 160MHz or 180MHz, with 275MHz

powerhouses and 200 MHz mulii-processor systems at '

[he lop of the range. Even portables offer 240MHz!

Apple Ls ihc only mainstream computer company

who has been able to make the transition

from the older CISC (complex instruction set

computing) processors to the newer and fester

RISC (reduced instruction set computing) processor

technology - whilst still retaining full backward

compatibility with previous software.

Remember. 486, Pentium/Pro& 680X0 are merely CISC!

The Internet & Communication:

All Macs art- Internet ready; many include

a 28.8 or 336 modem with full send'receive

fax and answerphone management facilities.

Industry standard web browsers. Netscape

f ■ rf Navigator and Microsoft Intemei Explorer

AM*', * nere developed forthe Mac. Both give full KCCi

to ail Web sites with new1 Internet page layout

•. features like auuMables and on-screen movies.

The Internet's standard format foi video files, called

QuickTime, or QuickTime fur Windows, arc both

Apple products. Of course QuickTime comes as

tandard with every Mac,

ofexisting programs which can also be used.

Industry standard programs such as Word.

Pagestream. Word Perfect, Page FileMaker Pro,

Excel. Quark Xprcvs, Photoshop and many

others have all Ix-cn developed/or the Mac.

so connecting systems together and adding shared

printers etc. Couldn't be easier.

All Macintdgies have an external SCSI connector as

standard - aajjing external drives, cartridge drives,

scanners etc really is Plug-and-Play.

Low-cost digit4cameras can be plugged into

world with an fWii market share in

coluui publishing.

• 65H ofpost-pKxIuctiiin video editing is gniiacs.

• Macintosh is the most widely used system for the

creation of internet web pages.

• Most magazines {probably the one you're re-jding

Many quality Macintosh titles are widely available.

Dorling Kimieriley offer superb titles like The Ultimate

Human Body and Hiitory of the World whilst Microsoft

publish Enrjiu, Cinemania and Dinosaurs.

Because Macintosh is the preferred .system

33 within many educational establishments,

high quality software is assured.

The Dig have all been developed

for Macintosh.
