1. eMac: The New Mac That Puts Learning First
Built specifically for education, the new eMac offers everything students, teachers, or administrators have asked us for.
Point-and-click simplicity. A space-saving design. A flat 17-inch (16-inch viewable) CRT display. Ample (40GB) storage.
Loads of power for digital media. Delivered, you'll note, by a 700MHz PowerPC G4 processor.
And, starting at $999, a price that won't strain education budgets.
Like to try one before the school year runs out? We have them on hand, so you're welcome to put an eMac through its paces, evaluate its performance, and see how well it satisfies all of your educational needs.

2. One PowerBook G4 Plus One 23-Inch Apple Cinema HD Display Equals?
The largest workspace you're likely to enjoy on any portable computer. With the 1280-by-854 resolution on our new PowerBook G4 and 1920-by-1200 resolution on the Apple Cinema HD Display, you'll be dazzled by a mega-wide workspace of more than 3.3 million pixels.
How's that possible? With our Apple DVI to ADC Adapter,* you can attach any ADC-equipped Apple flat-panel display to our new PowerBook G4, which now features an integrated DVI port.
But that's not all. The new PowerBook G4 is faster (up to 800MHz), features 1MB of level 3 cache for even better performance, offers more storage (up to 60 gigabytes), includes an audio line in port, and comes with Mac OS X and a full complement of Apple and third-party software.

* Sold separately.
3. Save $150 and Expand Your View of the World
There's absolutely no substitute for having a vast expanse of workspace available when editing video in Final Cut Pro, manipulating images in Photoshop, managing a website in Dreamweaver, or sweating the details in an Excel spreadsheet.
So here's a great way for you to expand your onscreen real estate: between now and June 30, 2002, buy
* one of our new PowerBook G4 computers (with a built-in DVI port) * a 17-inch Apple Studio Display, 22-inch Apple Cinema Display, or 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display * and a new Apple DVI to ADC Adapter
and you'll save $150 (via a mail-in rebate). Get all the details and download a copy of the rebate coupon by visiting our website.

4. Get an Edge on the Competition
It's a fact.
You can dramatically increase the odds that your small business will succeed simply by improving the quality of the business records you keep. And now you don't have to worry if accounting isn't your bailiwick. Concentrate on what you do best, and let FirstEdge for Mac OS X manage your business records for you.
FirstEdge offers intuitive ways to track invoices, balance bank accounts, organize vital client information, create customized reports, email invoices and other documents to clients as PDFs, and more. After a few minutes with the Easy Setup Assistant, you won't have an excuse to keep that old shoebox full of receipts.
Chef Emeril Lagasse wouldn't serve you Shrimp Etouffee that didn't delight; nor would he want you to partake of a less than tasty website <http://www.emerils.com>.
That's why he reached for the newest set of tools around when he cooked up www.emerils.com, whipping all of the ingredients of his site together with Macromedia Studio MX.
Just announced this week and shipping soon, Macromedia Studio MX includes four powerful design and website management tools--Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, Macromedia Flash MX, Macromedia Fireworks MX, and Macromedia FreeHand--all of which take full advantage of Mac OS X.

6. Technically Speaking
How many websites do you visit daily? How many more than once? Ever wish there was an easy way for you to open them?
There is. Access them from the Dock--just as you do the other files, folders, and applications you use frequently.
In fact, you already have the URL for a website in your dock. See that big @-sign on a spring? One click and you're connected directly to the Mac OS X website.
What's more, it's incredibly easy to add your own favorite sites to the Dock. We tell you how in "Mac OS X: How to Add the URL (@) Icon to the Dock."

7. Tips for Ten: Navigating the Dock
You know Mac OS X puts the icon of each application you open in the Dock. But did you know you can cycle through those open applications without taking your nimble fingers from the keyboard?
It's true. Hold down the Command key and press Tab, and Mac OS X will highlight the icon of the application to the right of the current app. Without releasing the Command key, press Tab again to go to the next. When you get to the application you'd like to use, release the Command key to make it active (or press the "q" key to quit or the "h" key to hide it).
Overshoot the app you want? Without releasing the Command key, press the Shift key to go the other way.
