Imam Macov stampac IMAGEWRITER II koji se na masinu kaci sa nekim 9-pinskim konektorom, koji mi izgleda kao seriski. Ako neko ima doticni ili zna raspored signala na pinovima, neka napise, da bi stampac nakacio na AMIGU.

Ima li neko sveže cene Mac-ova? Kakvi su to AV modeli?
mac.1967 askripka,
Skupio sam harbrost i update-ovao sistem na 7.5.5. Ono što sa sigurnošću mogu reći je da je rad sa virtualnom memorijom DRASTIČNO brži. Čini mi se da funkcioniše na sličan način kao ram-dabler, samo što veličina nije ograničena količinom `pravog` ram-a. Jedino mi se pojavio jedan `simpatični ` problem: Svaki put po uključivanju računara appletalk mi je isključen, iako sam ga uključio pomoću control strip modula, a i appletalk control panela. Da nisam nešto zaboravio? Stvar ne bi bila strašna da mi se prilikom dizanja sistem ne izgubi i freePPP meni, posto ne detektuje appletalk. Na reset iz special menija sve je u redu, ali posle shutdowna sve po starom. Možda je kvaka u opentransportu? Miki, da li si video da li su oni fontovi `editabilni`? I, da li je vredeo taj download? :)

DoubleScroll 1.1.2 by Edward Voas Shareware Information DoubleScroll is a shareware product. You may try it out for 15 days. If you like it, please send me $7 and IŇll send you a registration code to register your copy. If you do not register it within 15 days, reminder messages will be displayed when you start up. All About DoubleScroll DoubleScroll is a combination Extension/Control Panel which alters the way your Macintosh scroll bars look and act. Basically it puts a double arrow on each end of your scrollbars, allowing you to scroll in both directions without having to move your mouse from one end of your desk to the other to scroll back and forth. It works in both System 6 and 7, but it is really designed to take advantage of the color scheme of the System 7 interface. In fact, this text block has a DoubleScroll scroll bar on the right, whether or not DoubleScroll is currently loaded. Try it out! Svi znate (valjda ste nekada videli PC? :)) kako Word ima dve strelice scroll bar-u. E, ovo programče vam daje istu tu mogućnost na Mac-u. Sad, razlika je što ovo čudo dodaje strelice i gore i dole tako da štedite ruku a Boga mi i miša. :) d_scroll.sit

Meni kao bivšev AtariSTi je nezamislivo da darim sa onako malim File selectorom. I taman kad sam završio posao oko pravljenja CDa i silnog pakovanja i prepakivanja arhiva naleteo sam na program koji spašava stvar. Open-wide 3.5.9 je inače pod copyleft-om ali je na kraju ispao PostCard Ware sa mogućnošću slanja na BBSove. openwide.sit

Jel ima neko da je povezan na EUNet? Nikako ne uspevam da odem na Solair.EUNet.yu da vidim koliko mi je vremena ostalo. Kad dođem do te opcije kaže mi da isključim bafer i da za No Proxy for (ili tako nešto) stavim Eunet.yu Eunet.yu. Jeza me hvata da ne napravim neku glupost a nisam baš nešto pri parama. :(

Ne znma koliko će ti vredeti signali na pinovima i koliko ima smisla ovaj štampač kačiti na Amigu bez adekvatnog drajvera. Naime, ImageWriter *nije* Epson kompatibilan štampač. Ako nešto znači, ima u MAC direktorijumu fajl sa pin-out-om za razne serijske konektore za Macintosh.

> Ima li neko sveže cene Mac-ova? Kakvi su to AV modeli? Cene se stalno menjaju, pogledaj sajtove mail order firmi za tačnu informaciju. AV modele smo pominjali ovde nekoliko puta. AV je skračenica od Audio-Video i koristila se u oznaci modela kada je trebalo istaći da on ima poboljšane te mogućnosti. Na mašinama sa 68k procesorima je to značilo da ista ima i DSP procesor. Kod Power Macova to nije slučaj, PowerPC u njima je dovoljan da obavlja i te funkcije. Kod prvih Power Macintosha su postojali posebni AV modeli, a u suštini je bila reč samo o jednoj dodatnoj kartici u NuBus slotu. Kod novijih PowerMacova je oznaka izbačena iz upotrebe, jer svaki današnji model Power Macintosha ima neke AV mogućnosti. Koje i kog kvaliteta zavisi od modela (neki bi rekli od njegove cene B)).

Message-ID: <199701210043.QAA25600@scv1.apple.com> This tidbit is from: David Bisset, <bisset@shadow.net> Fellow Macintosh Users: I attended the Graphics of the Americas, an International Printing Expostion in Miami, Florida this weekend. I went there with the thought of seeing only companys with demos of presses, inks, and other pressroom hardware. Boy, I was wrong! Apple was there, with a large display in front of the entrance to the convention center. They had at least eight Macs (most featuring Pre-Press solutions) demoed there - I watched cerious people step up to a Mac (clearly not knowing exactly what it was) and was creating in Painter via a graphics tablet in five min. The Apple people were helpful and kind, and gave away a TON of free stuff. In addition, UMAX and PowerComputing clones were represented. As I walked the convention floor, I noticed that demos the companys were giving to ones who passed by were ALL doing it with Macs. I counted at least FOUR DOZEN Apple Macintoshs, along with at least a dozen Mac clones. Windows machines? I saw one. It was shutdown. I counted no one representing Microsoft or the Windows platform. Kudos to Apple for their presence. It was worth my trip. Macs clearly (as if there was a doubt) RULE the Pre-Press market. David J. Bisset ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

Without bothering to find any documentation from Iomega (is there any?), and following the simple directions Apple provides in the PC Compatibility Card's User's Guide for "mapping a drive" to a PC-formatted hard disk, I attempted to get Damien (the PC inside my Mac) to read from/write to the Zip drive. Inserting a Windows 95-formatted Zip disk into the Zip drive, the icon that appeared on the desktop indicated that the disk was a PC-formatted ejectable. In the "PC Setup" control panel, the name of the disk appeared in the pop-up window for the "d:\>" drive, so I selected it. When I switched to the PC (Apple + return), the disk simply appeared as the "D:\>" drive, and was fully functional. No need even to install Zip Tools for Windows. Total installation time, about 30 seconds. P.S. And now to make the guy with the funny hat and goatee smile: d:)> ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

EveryWare announces Tango for FileMaker 2.1 Tango for FileMaker, the Web/database tool nominated for both a MacUser MacEddy and MacWorld WorldClass award, has been upgraded Macworld Expo, San Francisco, CA---January 7, 1997---EveryWare Development Corp. today announced a new version of Tango for FileMaker. Tango for FileMaker is a Web development tool used to integrate Macintosh FileMaker Pro 3.0 databases with the Web. Tango for FileMaker utilizes a visual drag-and-drop development environment to enable rapid creation of Web-based applications. Tango for FileMaker has been nominated for both the MacUser MacEddy and Macworld World Class awards, two of the most highly respected awards in the Macintosh community. Tango for FileMaker 2.1 provides developers with added functionality, increased performance and decreased development time over the previous 1.6 version. Tango for FileMaker's speed as been substantially enhanced. Due to improved interaction with FileMaker Pro, typical database record addition and update operations are now ten times faster than in the previous version. As well, Tango for FileMaker now processes Tango meta tags 60% faster, a new, intelligent document caching mechanism has been added, and a WebSTAR API plug-in version of the server portion of Tango for FileMaker is now included. Quarterdeck's WebSTAR API (WSAPI) is a faster, more efficient alternative to the Common Gateway Interface (CGI). Tango for FileMaker 2.1 offers developers many new meta tags allowing for enhanced data manipulation capabilities and improved "if-then" functionality. Tango for FileMaker 2.1 also gives developers the option of including "next/previous x records" functionality in their web applications. This feature allows users to view large search result sets in multiple pages. In keeping with Tango for FileMaker's acclaimed ease-of-use, this feature can be added to new applications with a single mouse click. The new version of Tango for FileMaker provides a new facility that converts PICT formatted images from a FileMaker Pro database to JPEG images on-the-fly. Including pictures from FileMaker Pro databases in Tango-generated web pages is now as simple as dragging a field name in Tango Editor, Tango for FileMaker's visual development environment. Tango for FileMaker 2.1 also has the ability to access FileMaker Pro 3.0 databases from a remote machine over an AppleTalk network. This feature allows the separating of the Web server from the database server, increasing performance and easing administration. Superior Scalability Features Tango for FileMaker is a scalable application. Web developers can use Tango for FileMaker to build Web-based applications with FileMaker Pro as the back-end and then change the database to SQL Server, for example, with little modification to the Tango-based application. These scalability features are very important for developers implementing an Intranet/Internet based strategy with large growth expectations. About Tango for FileMaker Tango for FileMaker has been nominated by MacUser magazine for "Best Internet Server Application" and by MacWorld magazine for the 1997 World Class award. Tango for FileMaker is sold through 12 countries with many thousands of units shipped since it was first released. Tango for FileMaker 2.1 comes complete with demonstration applications including an on-line shopping solution, a seminar registration system, and a conferencing application. Price and availability Tango for FileMaker 2.1 sells for $349 and is available directly from EveryWare Development Corp. Tango for FileMaker will be available mid-January 1997. About EveryWare Development Corp. EveryWare Development Corp. is committed to securing a leading position in the Intranet Rapid Application Development (IRAD) market by providing businesses with cross-platform development tools that dramatically reduce the development time of Web-based applications. The company supports multiple operating environments, including Mac OS, Windows NT/95, and UNIX.

Blaine Stine) I just finished reading the following BYTE article entitled "PowerPC Speed Demon" and thought I'd pass it on. I would sure love to see my 9500 running at 533 MHz! The URL is: <http://www.byte.com/art/9612/sec10/art1.htm> Here are the first two paragraphs: There's an old joke about a computer so fast it can execute an infinite loop in 10 seconds. Exponential Technology's new PowerPC-compatible X704 chips aren't quite that fast, but their clock speeds of 466, 500, and 533 MHz make you wonder if that joke might come true. You can bet that Intel isn't laughing. Exponential's CPUs will munch on Pentium and Pentium Pro chips for breakfast. What's more, the X704 appears to have plenty of headroom for future performance gains. It's actually a conservative design that doesn't push the limit of what's possible. ________________ Do you believe in Macintosh?

The line of evangelism is: Everybody knows that Microsoft is a really smart company, and it's focusing more efforts on Macintosh software, so clearly Macintosh is a viable platform. Guy Microsoft Announces New Macintosh Product Unit Company Reaffirms Commitment to Macintosh Platform REDMOND, Wash. Jan. 7, 1997 Microsoft Corp. today announced the creation of the Macintosh product unit, which will be responsible for the design and development of Microsoft Office for the Macintosh. The creation of the new Macintosh product unit, part of the Microsoft desktop applications division, marks the first time in the history of the division that an entire product unit has focused exclusively on the Macintosh. The new Macintosh product unit also represents one of the largest Macintosh development teams outside of Apple Computer Inc. Headed by Ben Waldman, general manager, the new product unit numbers about 100 employees. Waldman most recently served as the development manager of the Office product unit, where he led the development team responsible for the core of Microsoft Office 97 for the Windows operating system. Previously, he worked on three versions of Microsoft Excel for Windows and Macintosh, leading the Microsoft Excel 5.0 for Macintosh project; he also served as manager of Macintosh technology for Microsoft. Waldman received a bachelor's degree in computer science summa cum laude from Harvard University in 1989. "When Apple's biggest third-party developer decides to commit new resources to its Macintosh applications business, that's a pretty clear sign that there's still money to be made in the Macintosh market," said Jeffrey Tarter, publisher of Soft*Letter. "Microsoft is committing more resources to the development of Office for the Macintosh than ever before, and we're excited about building great Macintosh applications," Waldman said. "I'm also looking forward to working closely with Apple to ensure that we meet the needs of our mutual customers." Customer Benefits The Macintosh product unit is dedicated to creating high-quality applications for the Macintosh. The group will focus on creating applications with high performance that meet the specific needs and expectations of Macintosh users as identified through customer research and evaluation. The team will also continue to ensure complete file format compatibility between the Macintosh and Windows-based versions of Microsoft Office. ######### Microsoft and Windows are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft Corp. in the United States and/or other countries.

E. jel mogu sad ja nešto da pitam... :) Vidim da me bojkotujete u vezi odgovora za moj AppleTalk... :) Zanimaju me vrlo precizne informacije o modelu 4400... Koliko ja znam, to je najavljeno kao zamen za model 7200. Znam da ima 603e procesor na 160 MHz. Koliko slotova? Max VRAM? Max RAM? Network? Uporedna brzina sa nekim PowerMac-om nove serije? Ovo me interesuje zato što sam video da konfiguracija: 4400/603e-160Mhz/16/1,2/8xCD Košta 800 funti... A ekvivalentna 8200/601-120MHz/16/1,2/8xCD košta (u najpovoljnijem slučaju) 1150 funti. Nisu ovde bitne cene u funtama, nego to da je 8200 za preko 40% skuplji od 4400... U čemu je `kvaka`???

Fina cena za nešto što treba da bude jeftina Performa 6400. Negde sam načuo (čitaj pročitao) da Apple hoće da izbaci mašinu sličnu PowerComputingovim PowerBase modelima, dakle kao Performa 640, samo bez nekih fancy mogućnosti.

Teško je ovo ekvivalent, 601 na 120 MHz je mnogo slabije od 603e na 160 MHz, jer je ovaj od 160 MHz otprilike kao 604 na 100 MHz.

Skini StuffIt Expander za Windows iz direktorijuma, ima ga i u MAC\ARCHIVER i u nekom WIN direktorijumu. To će ti rešiti probleme i sa ovim, ali i sa Mac Binary-em i StuffIt arhivama.

­=- A šta beše pitanje, meni je promaklo Ma muči me AppleTalk. Uvek mi je po boot-ovanju mašine isključen. Ja ga uključim, svejedno da li iz control strip modula, control panela ili chooser-a, i onda je ok. Posle restarta iz special menija, ok je, ali posle shutdown-a opet isto - isključen... Ovo me strašno nervira jer mi se ne popne ni freeppp meni, lak je precrtan kao ekstenzija prilikom boot-ovanja. Posle restarta je ok, ali jel to znači da svaki put treba 2 puta da palim mašinu??? Napominjem da mi se obo dešava nakon update-a na 7.5.5., dakle nakon prelaska na open transport... Ajd` pa sad budi genije i pomozi... ­=- Fina cena za nešto što treba da bude jeftina Performa 6400. Negde sam načuo (čitaj pročitao) da Apple hoće da izbaci mašinu sličnu PowerComputingovim... I ja sam to čuo... mada se najavljuje i još nešto, samo je izgleda mnogo `tajnovito`... Mora da ni Apple ne zna šta... :)) ­=- Da nije 4400 ta mašina? Pa i ja sam to pitao... rek`o da nema neko neki opis ili test iz nekog časopisa ili sa interneta... ­=- Teško je ovo ekvivalent, 601 na 120 MHz je mnogo slabije od 603e na 160 MHz, jer je ovaj od 160 MHz otprilike kao 604 na 100 MHz. Mislio sam na ekvivalentnost u pogledu količine rama, kapaciteta harda, brzine CD-a itd... Snagu procesora znam... Tim pre je čudnije da je 8200 45% skuplji od 4400... Mora da ima nešto `kvarno`... Šta ti misliš?

Apple: Power Mac 4400 Ovako :-) imam ceo tekst na nemačkom pa ako neko hoće mogu da ga pošaljem poštom. PowerPC 603e/160MHz bez L2 cache 16MB EDO-RAM (proširivi do 96MB) ATI-On-Board graphic sa 1MB Video-EDO-RAM (264VT-S2; proširivo do 4MB) 1,2GB IDE hard disk (Seagate ST31276A) 8c ATAPI CD-ROM (Matsushita CR-583-B), 3 * PCI u horizontalno položaju Floppy Tastatura i miš 2xGeoPort, ADB, Sound In/Out, SCSI (externi), Monitor, System software kućište je desktop (ležeće) Cena: 2500DM (preprodavci će za ovu cenu davati L2 cache i sofrtware) Znači ovaj model ima IDE kontroler sa IDE uređajima pa je zbog toga jeftiniji od ostalih modela. Naime, i ranije je bio dogovor između Apple, IBM i Motorole da se napravi takav kompjuter koji će imati PowerPC procesor, raditi pod MacOS i imati standardne IBM konektore; ovo sam čuo od jednog Mac korisnika. Pored IDE kontrolera postoji i externi SCSI-1 (5MB/s) koji se lako može prepraviti i na interni. Inače može se prikači i IBM tastatura i mouse (to je valda onaj ADB). IDE ima brzinu od 3.5MB/s pri pisanju i 3MB/s pri čitanju ?!?!? ATI karta prima EDO (5 V) i SGRAM/SDRAM (3.3 V) i sa 4MB može da prikaže 1024*768 tačaka pri 24bita sa frekvencijom od 70 do 75 Hz, dok sa 1MB može da prikaže 800*600 16bit ili 1152*870 256 boja. Zvuk je 16bitni. Takt PCI je 33 MHz asynchrono a bustakt 40MHz.

mac.2006 askripka, -> #2005, kmilan
Samo ga zahvalim na iscrpnom odgovoru... A što se tiče cene... U novogodišnjem MacFormatu model 4400 je ponuđen za 799 funti, dakle ispod 2000 maraka... Dakle, dileme nema... Ovo je sigurno najbolji izbor za te pare... Doduše, treba dodati i za monitor, ali opet je podnošljivo...

> Napominjem da mi se obo dešava nakon update-a na 7.5.5., dakle > nakon prelaska na open transport... Hm, teško pitanje, ali imam jedno podpitanje: jesi li poštovao principo da update na 7.5.5 radiš tako što ćeš instalirati čist 7.5, pa na njega 7.5.3 i na kraju 7.5.5 ili si odmah instalirao 7.5.5 na 7.5.3 koji si već koristio. Takođe, probaj sa Classic Networkingom (trebalo bi da tu je 7.5.5 instalirao Network Software Selector aplikaciju u Apple Extras folder). Ako nemaš prevelike potrebe za Open Transportom (više konfiguracija, neki softver to zahteva), koristi Classic Networking, naravno ukoliko možeš. Uštedećeš i nešto memorije. > Mora da ima nešto `kvarno`... Šta ti misliš? Pa, i ja mislim da postoji neki catch zašto je to tako. Problem je što su to evropski modeli, 8200 i 4400 ne postoje u USA, a odatle dobijamo većinu informacija.

Tipičan primer je ADB, odnosn PS/2 port za tastaturu koje neki MAc klonovi već sada imaju. > externi SCSI-1 (5MB/s) koji se lako može prepraviti i na interni Nema šta da se prepravlja, mašina ima samo jedan SCSI bus. Da li ćeš uređaje da stavljaš unutra (ako imaš mesta) ili spolja, svejedno je. Samo PowerMacovi imaju dva SCSI busa, i to noviji. > Inače može se prikači i IBM tastatura i mouse > (to je valda onaj ADB) Jok, nije to ADB.

Pre instaliranja Delrine sistem mi je prijavljivao Portrait video card a sada mi stoji da je to Uncorrected Gamma. Naravno, posle reseta se sve vraća u crno belo.

Power Mac 8500 ima mogućnost "grebovanja" slike sa videa standardno ugrađeno, kao i izlaz za video tako da se sa njega direktno može snimati an video traku. 7500, čini mi se, ima samo izlaz, nema ulaz, morao bih da proverim.

> Ako vas zanima: Zanima nas, hvala na prilogu. > Pentium MMX against PowerMac >^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Što reče Gaj Kavasaki, Apple bi trebalo da lansira reklamnu parolu tipa: "Zašto bi čekali MMX, pa onda aplikacije koje podržavaju MMX, kada vam sve to odavno nudi PowerMac." Inače, iz ovoga što si ostavio se vidi da je PPC 604e na 150 MHz u svemu bio bolji od MMX procesora na 200 MHz, šta li bi mu uradio tek ovaj UMAX Pulsar 2000 što je kod mene na testiranju za prikaz u Mikroračunarima broj 3. On ima 604e na 200 MHz, a znate da postoje Power Mac klonovi na 225 MHz. Inače, kad već pominjem UMAX-a, prikaz se može naći i u poslednjem broju PC-a, ali je Modli napravio nekoliko grešaka (jedna od njih je podatak da UMAX nema AppleTalk port, očigledno ne zna da je printer port upravo to).

> Da li ti imaš autorsko pravo na taj tekst, ili časopis u kome ga > objavljuješ? Kod časopisa je jasna stvar, autor trenutkom predaje teksta uredniku gubi svako pravo na njegovo dalje distribuiranje, tako da nema ništa o ostavljanja na Sezam. Što ne znači da ne mogu da vam prenesem najbitnije, a ostatak pročitajte u Mikroračunarima broj 3. Elem, UMAX Pulsar je UMAXova varijanta Power Maca 9500/200, odnosno Power Tower Pro 200 od Power Computinga. Razlikuje ga to što ima dva procesorka slota, pa tako se nemora daughterboard sa procesorom menjati i ubacivati drugi sa dva ili više procesora, već je moguće samo ubaciti dodatnu procesorsku karticu. Ima standardno 16 MB RAM-a, što se može dograditi do 1 GB jer ima 8 DIMM slotova. Tu je 6 PCI slotova, jedan zauzet TwinTurbo 128M grafičkom karticom sa 4 MB VRAM-a. Procesor je, dakle, PPC 604e na 200 MHz. Ima sve portove koje ima svaki noviji Power Macintosh, dakle eksterni SCSI, grafička kartica ima konektore i za Mac monitore i za VGA monitore (pošto nije htela da radi sa mojim Pivotom morao sam od komšinice da pozajmim običan Samsungov VGA monitor od 14 inča, proradilo iz prve), ima dva ADB porta, Ethernet port (zaa 10BaseT nije potreban transiver, dok za koaksijalac jeste), modem i printer port. Mali Modli očigledno ne zna da je printer port isto što i AppleTalk port (BTW i ne kaže se AppleTalk, već LocalTalk port) pa je napisao da Pulsa istog nema.

Dr. Gil Amelio's Keynote Address Seems like you just couldn't escape it--no matter where you looked or whom you talked to, someone had an opinion on Dr. Amelio's January 7 MACWORLD Expo San Francisco keynote address. Some liked it, some didn't. Personally, we think Dr. Amelio accomplished what he set out to do-- reassure Mac OS users that Apple's platform has a viable growth path and a promising future. Here's an excerpt from Dr. Amelio's speech and let you decide for yourself--that is, if you don't already have an opinion on it! The following paragraphs are quotes from his speech: "We had some disappointing sales this holiday season. Normally, here at Apple that would mean that we would go in and start changing our strategy. A sort of 'strategy du jour.' We don't do that anymore. Our earlier strategy decisions are still applicable. We're going to stay the course. "True, revenue in Q1 was less than we were looking for, but there was a slowdown in consumer PC sales overall, so the anticipated Q1 results are more about how we did in a tough U.S. consumer market than they are about the fundamentals of our recovery. Elsewhere we had pretty good sales: in PowerBooks, Power Macs, and servers. The balance sheet is good. The fundamentals of our comeback are still strongly in place. We're going to focus on the essentials for the long term. Without a doubt we've hit some turbulence, but our course remains unchanged. "Apple is on a three-year program. It hasn't changed. Last year was about financials, operations, management, and quality issues. This year is about products: to renew our product line, AND to continue working on the business fundamentals. Year three is about continued improvement and revenue growth. "Now I'd like to talk about our OS strategy. I'm here to give you the reassurance that we plan to preserve your investment. We want to offer a balance--moving forward, AND protecting our installed base. These days are similar to the transition from the 68K microprocessor [to] the PowerPC microprocessor. "This summer there will be a dramatic upgrade to Mac OS 7, code-named "Tempo." It will include Java run time, Cyberdog 2.0, and the Copland Finder. Tempo will be the most dramatically advanced user experience since 1984. Mac leaps ahead once again in ease of use on System 7. After Tempo, we've scheduled two major upgrades: Allegro and Sonata. "[For the new operating system], we wanted to go beyond the minimum. We wanted excitement factors. We assessed each of our options along 60 criteria and features. NeXT was the clear winner. NeXT was already far ahead of its time and a very good fit for us. It completely complemented our technology. It also offered improved administration, an international-ready OS, advanced multimedia capabilities, superior Internet opportunities, strength for the enterprise market, and the opportunity for rapid application development. Oh--and Steve Jobs, of course. "[The new operating system] is code-named "Rhapsody." [It is] a fully modern environment. Built on the NeXT OPENSTEP. We plan on fusing the best of the Mac and NeXT technologies, which will include OpenDoc, QTML, [and] Display PostScript plus GX. "The Rhapsody Developer Release will come out this summer. It won't have a compatibility module, since the goal is to get it into the developers' hands as quickly as possible. [The] Rhapsody Premiere Release will be scheduled for January 1998. [The] Rhapsody Unified Release is scheduled for the summer of 1998. "So, why buy a Mac today? Because every reason that brought you to Mac in the first place is stronger today than ever; because the user experience improves constantly; because of the performance improvements. So you can transition to the new OS when it's ready. Because Apple offers very rich and exciting possibilities. "Why develop for Mac today? Because we're continuing the System 7 evolution; because we're committed to compatibility in Rhapsody; because Rhapsody has advanced and compelling new features; [because] we will offer development tools for a smoother transition; [because] developers can leverage a single effort in a rapid cross-platform environment. "Apple is famous for its devotion to the individual. I invite the community to move forward with us. I pledge that Apple will provide bridges of continuity to carry us ahead. But never doubt that there is a chasm we must cross, one way or another. Introducing PowerPC gave us the power to make the journey. But it takes software to unlock that power. It's time to complete the modernization of the Macintosh. It's time to move forward. The journey is the reward."

Mac OS-Based Computer Sales Grew 9 Percent During Q4 Ň96 According to AppleŇs preliminary estimates, Mac OS licensees sold 120,000 computers (+/- 10,000) from October through December of 1996, bringing total quarterly Mac OS-based computer sales up to 1.043 million units. This represents a 9 percent increase in Mac OS-based computers sold over the previous quarter. By looking at sales estimates from other manufacturers of Mac OS-based computers, you can easily see the positive impact that these compatible sales will have on your installed base in the coming years: * Power Computing sold more than 100,000 units in its first year (better than Compaq did in its first year). * Motorola Computer Group shipped more than 40,000 StarMax Mac OS compatibles from its mid-November first-shipment through December 1996. According the Motorola, this number was Ďway beyond expectations.Ë * Umax sold nearly 100,000 U.S. of Mac OS units during its first six months of shipments. (Source: Umax/Edelman PR) * DayStar shipped a few thousand Mac OS compatibles into the quad- processor workstation market this year. A DayStar spokesperson said that for every ĎSGI-equivalentË Mac compatible system that they ship, Apple typically sells ten additional Mac OS support systems at a site. All of this is good news for Apple developers, because it shows that the overall market for Mac OS products IS GROWING, despite AppleŇs slip in Performa sales last quarter. (For an explanation of Q4 results, see Gil AmelioŇs statement included later in this news bulletin.) And though the popular press paints a bleak picture of AppleŇs future, the companyŇs market share is actually holding steady. International Data Corporation (IDC) currently estimates that AppleŇs market share in 1996 was 6.6 percent, down only 0.2 percent over the previous year. To help put this in perspective, Guy Kawasaki reports, ĎSony's market share for color TVs in 1995 was 7 percent according to Appliance Manufacturer (April 1996, p. 32); and Honda's is about 7 percent in the car business.Ë For IDC market share data, see the Yahoo site: http://www.yahoo.com/headlines/970114/tech/stories/ms_1.html

Developers Stand by Their Macs Dave Winer, computer industry pundit, recently published results of an informal survey where self-selecting Macintosh developers commented on their future platform development plans. The results: The overwhelming majority of Apple developers plan to support the Mac OS platform during the NeXT/Rhapsody operating system transition. Based on nearly 2,000 web-based submissions, the following table shows the percentages of Mac OS developers planning to support these operating systems: Future Development Plans _________________________ OS Support------Yes--Unsure--No Mac OS----------72%---13%---13% Windows---------39%---20%---39% NeXT------------71%---22%----5% UNIX------------32%---28%---38% Be--------------28%---41%---29% Java------------56%---32%---11% Though the number of Apple developers planning to support Mac OS dropped slightly (6 percent) since WinerŇs last survey, there was an encouraging jump in support for both the NeXT (8 percent) and Be (10 percent) operating systems. ItŇs also interesting to note that the number of Apple developers planning to support Windows DROPPED 10 percent.

Apple Reports First Fiscal Quarter Results Apple just announced financial results for its fiscal 1997 first quarter, which ended December 27, 1996. For the quarter, the company generated revenues of $2.1 billion and unit sales of 923,000, a sequential decline of 8 percent and 1 percent, respectively, from the September quarter. The company recorded a net loss of $120 million for the quarter ($.96 per share) compared to a profit of $25 million ($.20 per share) in the September quarter, and compared to a net loss of $69 million ($.56 per share) in the first fiscal quarter of 1996. Apple achieved gross margins of 19 percent during the quarter, compared to 22 percent in the September quarter and 15 percent in the corresponding quarter a year ago. International sales constituted 56 percent of the company's quarterly revenues. The company experienced shortfalls in its planned sales of consumer- oriented Performa-branded systems in the United States during the quarter. The weakness in demand for Performa products necessitated aggressive pricing and rebate activities that adversely affected gross margins. Those actions, coupled with the overall unit shortfall, resulted in the significant loss for the quarter. Based on first quarter results, the company plans to develop additional restructuring programs during the second quarter with the goals of reducing its break-even point to $8 billion in annual revenues and enabling the company to return to profitability by the fourth fiscal quarter, which ends September 26, 1997.

Amelio on AppleŇs Future Developers concerned about AppleŇs future should read the following excerpted letter, in which Apple CEO Gil Amelio talks about AppleŇs recent earnings announcement and his optimism for the companyŇs future. Ď1. Our fundamental strategy remains on track. Our three-year transformation plan is sound, and we remain focused on executing that plan. In 1996 we strengthened the company's financial position, ending the calendar year with 1.8 billion in cash. 1997 is about revitalizing the product line--and we're on track to have the most exciting new product year in our history. 1998 is about growth. Ď2. Our financial position remains strong. We have $1.8 billion in cash, which we can use to fund the NeXT acquisition and other business investments. We have many exciting product announcements scheduled for 1997, and have seen strength in demand for new products. Ď3. Our disappointing results for the first quarter were the result of specific issues: weak consumer demand for Performa machines in the United States and constrained supply for some products. However, sales of PowerBooks and high-end Power Macintosh systems exceeded our plans. Total shipments in Europe were up more than 50 percent on a sequential basis, while unit sales in Japan and Asia Pacific combined were relatively comparable to sales in the September quarter. Our inventory levels are very healthy, and we expect increased availability of PowerBooks in the coming months. Ď4. We've set the stage for long-term technology leadership with our planned acquisition of NeXT. Our new operating system road map describes how Apple will supply complementary operating systems in the coming years by enhancing the current Mac OS, while building the new OS, code- named ĎRhapsody.Ë Rhapsody will aim to integrate NeXT and Apple technologies into an OS that aims to leapfrog Windows NT. Ď5. Apple chose to build its new OS utilizing the NeXT technologies because it believes that by embracing outside technology and cross- platform industry standards, it can innovate in the key areas that give its products and technology differentiation in a standards-based world. NeXT's maturity, networking, customer and developer acceptance, multitasking, protected memory, scalability from portable to server- level products, information linking, and powerful object-oriented architecture will give Apple the underpinning it needs to provide differentiated multimedia and Internet leadership moving forward. This approach should help Apple in all markets, especially the enterprise. Apple is also confident that compatibility with existing applications will be strong, both in Mac OS and Rhapsody, as they evolve.Ë

Dear Developers, As you know, we recently announced our intention to acquire NeXT Software, Inc. and deliver a new operating system based on NeXT and Apple technology code-named Rhapsody. At Macworld San Francisco, we shared our high level strategy and goals for this operating system. We want to share as much information as possible when important decisions have been reached. At Macworld, we indicated that Rhapsody will be based on a robust operating system foundation that features full preemptive multitasking, memory protection, and SMP, and we committed to announce our choice for the core OS within a month. We have chosen to deliver these capabilities using the Mach kernel. Apple completed a thorough evaluation of several options. Each of the options had both technical and business strengths. Mach represents the best balance of technology and business fit and maximizes our ability to deliver on our stated goals for Rhapsody. We believe the Mach-based core provides Apple and developers a compelling technology foundation in which to build innovative and world class products. Clearly, there are further technical decisions still to be made. We will continue to update you on a continuing basis. Ellen Hancock Chief Technology Officer Avie Tevanian Vice President, NeXT Software, Inc.

Apple Introduces Software-Only MPEG Movie Playback Apple recently announced immediate availability of its QuickTime MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) extension, which allows you to perform full-screen, software-only playback of MPEG-1 and VideoCD audio/video files on PowerPC processor-based Mac OS computers. MPEG is a worldwide industry standard for compressing synchronized audio and video for post-production and entertainment. The QuickTime MPEG extension is available immediately for use with QuickTime 2.5; you can download it from the QuickTime web site: http://quicktime.apple.com/ Through the QuickTime MPEG extension, VHS-quality, full-screen video and CD-quality audio are now available as a single synchronized data type in the QuickTime architecture. Apple has supported hardware MPEG-1 playback on Macintosh computers since 1994; with the announcement of this QuickTime Media Layer (QTML) software extension, Power Macintosh users no longer need special hardware to view a variety of MPEG files and formats. Through the capabilities of QuickTime track synchronization, MPEG files can also be fully integrated with other QuickTime media types, including sprites, MIDI, text, and 3D files. All applications updated to be compliant with QuickTime for Macintosh 2.5 can immediately take advantage of these new features. Apple is providing a new version of MoviePlayer--version 2.5.1--to allow immediate use of these features. Apple is committed to giving Microsoft Windows customers an equally compelling MPEG experience in 1997. Because of the extensibility of QTML and the open plug-in architecture of QuickTime, the QuickTime MPEG extension can upgrade systems that currently have QuickTime for Macintosh 2.5 installed. The QuickTime MPEG extension will also work seamlessly with the QuickTime plug-in for Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer, enabling real-time, live MPEG playback inside these browsers. QuickTime's "fast start" feature enables users to view MPEG content as it downloads, eliminating the delay associated with large multimedia files across low-bandwidth connections. To coincide with the release of Apple's QuickTime MPEG extension, Astarte USA has announced the release of Astarte MPEG Exporter, a free Macintosh QuickTime extension that allows users to easily convert any QuickTime movie to MPEG format. MPEG Exporter is available from Astarte's web site: http://www.astarte.de/mpeg_exporter/ MPEG Exporter will allow Power Macintosh users to begin working with MPEG material immediately without having to buy MPEG hardware. For a description of the QuickTime MPEG extension's technical capabilities and for a list of third-party endorsements, see the press release on the web: http://product.info.apple.com/pr/press.releases/1997/q2/970124.pr.rel.quick time.html

Apple's New Structure Brings Sharp Focus on Key Businesses Apple Computer, Inc. today implemented a streamlined organizational structure that consolidates the Company's product development, marketing, sales, support, and operations efforts into groups sharply focused on Apple's strategy. With this organization, Apple is focusing research and development on products that are central to its key businesses, sales teams to its market strengths. It is also integrating Apple's and NeXT's development resources, to execute its OS strategy. "We are reshaping our product development, sales, and marketing efforts into simpler, leaner teams that can quickly bring exceptional products to market--and then aggressively market them to customers in our key markets" said Dr. Gilbert Amelio, Apple's Chairman and CEO. "The organization and team we're announcing today represent the right people, in the right places, to bring Apple back to its basics and return us to profitability by the end of the fiscal year." The new structure includes the following key elements and executives: Technology Office Led by Ellen Hancock, this group includes Reliability and Quality, the Chief Scientist, the Apple Fellows, and the Advanced Technology Group. Research and Development The Company consolidates its multiple product development organizations into two basics groups: The System Software Engineering team will be led by Avie Tevanian, coming from NeXT. The Hardware Engineering team will be led by Jon Rubinstein, most recently COO of FirePower Systems, Inc. Marketing With today's move, Apple, for the first time, brings all its marketing functions into a single organization. Guerrino De Luca, previously head of Apple's Claris subsidiary, leads the Company's new global marketing group, with responsibility for all Product Marketing, Developer Relations, Licensing, Marketing Communication, Advertising, and Events activities. The NeXT marketing functions will also report to this marketing organization. Worldwide Sales and Support The Company's new Worldwide Sales and Support Organization, led by Marco Landi, will sell and bring service and support to customers in the education, business, publishing, and consumer markets. Claris, now led by Dominique Goupil, most recently senior vice president of Claris Sales and Marketing, will report into this organization. The Claris charter and strategy remain unchanged. The NeXT sales force and professional services under Mitch Mandich, will also report into the Worldwide Sales and Support Organization. Finance and Administration Led by Fred Anderson, this group comprises Finance, Corporate Development, Information Systems, Investor Relations, and Facilities. Operations Led by George Scalise, this group includes Human Resources, Legal, Worldwide Manufacturing and Procurement, Government Relations, and Imaging. All these functions and the executives who will lead them will report to Dr. Gilbert Amelio, Apple's CEO and Chairman, and form the Executive Committee.

NewMedia Article Endorses the Mac OS for CD Mastering In a very thorough NewMedia Magazine article titled "Desktop CD Recording Shootout," author Brent Hurtig said, "If you are able to choose your CD-ROM mastering platform, we highly recommend the Mac. First of all, the Mac is the only desirable place to make true hybrid discs. Also, while we completed our Mac software testing in short order with only rare phone calls to the manufacturers, the Windows testing delayed this article by three months and contributed to many sleepless nights." For more information on this topic, as well as an excellent set of reviews on CD recorders and premastering programs, check out this web page: <http://www.hyperstand.com/NewMedia/95/09/td/cdr.html>
