We do. Fluently.

In fact, we can have you speaking digital in no time.

Just visit a participating Apple dealer later this month, get acquainted with the new iMac and Power Mac G4 models, and let us show you how the Mac can become the center of your digital world.

Using a new Power Mac G4, you can easily manage a library of music imported from your own CDs. Download your favorite tunes to a portable MP3 player or burn them to an audio CD. Use iTools to store and share your growing collection of digital photographs. Transfer footage you’ve taken with your digital camcorder and create your own Desktop Movie—complete with music, titles, transitions, and sound effects.

Learn how easy it is to speak digital. Attend an Apple In-Store Event in your area.

Have you noticed how many neat gadgets—digital cameras, portable MP3 players, photo-quality printers, camcorders, handheld computers—you can connect to your PowerBook or Power Mac G4 these days?

Wouldn’t it be great if you could purchase one or more of them but pay less?

Now you can. From now until October 14, purchase any Macintosh computer, and you’ll receive a free Lexmark color printer (tax and other charges not included).¹

But that’s not all. Throughout the period, you can receive a $100 rebate when you also purchase a Canon ZR20 or ZR25 MC camcorder, HP 315 digital camera, Handspring Visor Edge handheld, or Rio 600/32MB MP3 player. That’s $100 for each one you purchase.

You can take advantage of this offer (and get complete details) at participating retail locations, the online Apple Store, or the Apple Store for Education.

¹Store purchase is required and is subject to sales tax (where applicable).

If you hit three G’s in the friendly skies, you’re really flying.

But that’s nothing compared to the ride you’ll experience with one of the three NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards available for our new Power Mac G4 computers. The three include the NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, the NVIDIA GeForce3, and the NVIDIA GeForce2 MX with TwinView.

If you like to soar with two displays, you’ll really like the last — and newest — of the three. Not only does the GeForce2 MX with TwinView offer all of the advanced 2D and 3D capabilities of the GeForce2 MX card, but it lets you connect two displays (both an Apple ADC display and a VGA display) while occupying only one slot — the single AGP 4X slot. So you’ll still have four PCI expansion slots available even though you’re running two displays.

You may have a dozen (or dozens of) database files in active use at any given time. But how many employees or guests can access them at once? How much time does administering them require? And how many platforms can you support?

If you’re using FileMaker Server 5.5, you can host up to 125 FileMaker Pro database files at a time. Locate servers using LDAP. Automatically receive updated plug-ins from the server. Support up to 250 simultaneous guests per server. Automate the backup of all files. Administer the server remotely. And run it in Windows NT, Windows 2000, Red Hat Linux, Mac OS 9,or Mac OS X.

No wonder FileMaker calls FileMaker Server 5.5 the “database server for growing workgroups.”

“Most kids his age are playing Nintendo,” observes Brian Wimmer, organizer of the action-sports film festival X-Dance. “Jordan’s at this huge editing bay at home, playing Apple Final Cut Pro.”

Who is this digital video whiz kid? His name is Jordan Miller, and he recently screened his skateboarding videos “Feel No Pain” and “Break Stuff” at X-Dance.

How good is the skateboarding filmmaker? Miller already has more than a dozen digital videos to his credit, and Atom Films grabbed the distribution rights to “Break Stuff”—three minutes of what Miller calls “all falls and bails”—at X-Dance.

Not bad for a 14-year-old.

When you’re looking for technical information about an Apple product, you know you’ll find a wealth of information online. Product specifications, software updates, manuals in pdf format, QuickTime movies showing you (step-by-step) how to install memory, Read Me documents, troubleshooting assistance, solutions to technical issues—all manner of technical information is available to you 24/7.

Until recently, we kept such information in different online locations. But now we’ve made it easier for you to locate these technical resources by placing them all in a large central repository—the AppleCare Knowledge Base. Think of it as a one-stop technical shop.

To accommodate customers at different levels of technical expertise, we’ve even created two ways of accessing the Knowledge Base, one for experts and one for those who would like us to help locate pertinent items. Why not give the Knowledge Base a try.

PBS and the New York Times have several things in common.

Both have long been synonymous with excellence. Both inform, amaze, and amuse us on a daily basis. Both have companion websites — PBS Online and the New York Times on the Web — with content that’s encyclopedic in scope. (The former weighs in with over 135,000 pages of online material.)

And both now allow us to search the depths of their voluminous content via Sherlock. That’s right, rouse Sherlock, click the News or Reference channels, and you’ll find new Sherlock plug-ins that will help you search PBS Online and the New York Times on the Web, respectively. How’s that, Bert?

Michael Jantze thought he had it made when he landed a deal with a syndicate to get his comic strip “The Norm” into newspapers across the country.

He didn’t realize, however, that to attract new readers to his strip and to sell books of strip collections, he was going to have to promote “The Norm” himself.

So he did what his computer-obsessed star, Norm, would have done in the same situation: he used his Power Mac and such applications as Dreamweaver and Photoshop to build a website where readers could learn more about his characters, send him feedback, and buy books. Read all about it in “The Norm: A Comic Strip of eNormous Success.”
