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.

3. Tips for Ten: What's the Status...
How many items do you have in the folder you just opened? How much free space is left on your hard drive?
Add a status bar to your folder window and you'll know. In the Finder, pull down the View menu and choose "Show Status Bar." Now, whenever you open a folder, network volume, hard drive, Zip disk, or other removable media, you'll see a status bar. Even if you hide the toolbar, the status bar will appear.
Can you add a file to this folder or drive? Are the files arranged in any particular way? Assign access privileges and/or arrangement specifications in the Show View Options dialog box, and Mac OS X will add small icons to the left identifying them.

4. Coast to Coast with Macintosh
Many college students head out on a road trip or two and have some fun before they graduate. But how many take a road trip and wind up interviewing Sandra Day O'Connor, Monster.com CEO Jeff Taylor, and other high-profile individuals?
That's what happened to Pepperdine University seniors Nathan Gebhard and Mike Marriner when they embarked on a cross-country road trip to learn the secrets of some of the most successful people in the country. To document their project, dubbed "roadtripNATION," they chose Macintosh computers and iMovie despite their total lack of prior experience with either.
iMovie, notes Gebhard, let "us instantly share the experiences we had and completely edit something in an hour."
A few months ago in iMac Update, we told you how you could have iPod shuffle the order in which it plays the songs you carry around with you everywhere.
http://www.apple.com/enews/2002/02/07enews2.html
Go to the iPod Settings menu, and you can have iPod shuffle songs or albums; have iPod repeat one or all songs; activate the sleep timer and have iPod play for 15 to 120 minutes before turning itself off.
With iPod 1.1 installed, iPod will remind you of the shuffle, repeat, or sleep timer settings you've selected by displaying a series of icons just below the battery icon. Read all about them in "iPod 1.1: About the Icons on the 'Now Playing' Screen."

6. Email to Go
Off exploring, you're miles from home and suddenly have a hankerin' to see what's in your Mac.com account. Sure, you can get your hands on a computer, but there's no way you can check your email, right?
Not so fast--if you have an iTools account, you can check your email from anywhere in the world with any computer that has access to the Internet.
Simply use our new Webmail feature. We're still testing it out and making refinements, but if you'd like, try our beta version and tell us what you think.
