Apple's new iMac
Apple's new iMac
models feature faster speeds and a host of pre-installed software to 
meet the computer needs of students and instructors. The updated line
features Apple's next-generation Mac OS X operating system, fast
PowerPC G3 processors running up to 700 MHz, larger hard drives up to
60 GB and memory up to 256 MB. The added power helps speed through
pre-installed audio and video software, including iTunes, which users
can use to import songs from favorite CDs and compress them into
popular MP3 files. iTunes helps users organize their music and
quickly create custom music CDs with Apple's slot-loading CD-RW
drives, also included. The added memory and hard drive capacity
allows users to store more movies with iMovie digital video editing
software. Movies can be saved back to the camcorder, copied to
videotape or posted to a user's own Web site using iTools, Apple's
suite of free Internet Services. Apple Computer Inc., Cupertino, CA,
(408) 996-1010, www.apple.com/education.
