  • SETTING UP-Setting up Your Macintosh Centris 610 Involves These Steps
    SETTING UP-Setting up your Macintosh Centris 610 involves these steps: - Plugging in the computer - Connecting a monitor - Connecting the mouse and keyboard - Connecting other devices - Turning the computer on Plugging in the Computer Plug in the Macintosh before connecting anything to it. The plug grounds the computer and protects it from electrical damage while you are setting up. 1. Plug the socket end of the power cord into the recessed power plug (marked with the symbol ) on the back of the computer. 2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole grounded outlet or power strip. !! WARNING: This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your Macintosh Centris 610 is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug -- a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug! !! If the computer starts up: If you hear a tone, the computer has started up and you need to turn it off before proceeding. Press and release the power switch on the front panel to turn the computer off. To protect both yourself and the computer from electrical hazards, the computer should remain turned off until you are finished connecting its parts. Installing an Expansion Card If you purchased an expansion card for your Macintosh Centris 610, see "Installing Expansion Cards," page 24, for instructions on installing it.

  • 40 Lessons from 40 Years of Apple Ads
    40 Lessons from 40 Years of Apple Ads Apple was founded on April fools day in 1976. It’s first office was Steve Jobs’ parents’ garage: And it’s first products were humble: Steve Jobs was obsessed with poets, and he and Woz both drew inspiration from one of the best, Bob Dylan. Any great folklorist will tell you that Apple’s origins met the primary criteria for future exaltation. They were humble, poor, and hard working. From those origins, Apple has grown to a global behemoth with over $269 billion dollars in the bank. One of the (many) things that helped Apple get to where it is today is a mastery of advertising. This article presents 40 of the best Apple ads over 40 years and draws 40 lessons from each. It spans 1977’s “Simplicity” all the way to “The Rock x Siri Dominate the Day.” 1977 — “Simplicity” (https://archive.org/details/Apple_II_-_Simplicity_is_the_ultimate_sophistication) “Apple II will change the way you think about computers.” This is an introduction to the Apple II. It displays the features of the device with a clear emphasis on personal computing. The idea of having a personal computer was very new at the time; many people didn’t think there was a use for a computer at home. The lesson: When you’re introducing something new, keep it simple. 1978 — “Bestselling” (http://www.macmothership.com/gallery/MiscAds/a2bestselling1.jpg) “Since we developed Apple II in April 1977, more people have chosen our computer than all other personal computers combined.” Apple opens the brochure with the above quote, providing social proof from buyers.

  • Powerpc and Power Macintosh L Technical Information
    L Technical PowerPC and Information Power Macintosh Recently, both Apple Computer and IBM have introduced products based on the PowerPC™ microprocessor. The PowerPC microprocessor is a result of collaboration between three industry leaders: Apple, IBM, and Motorola. This cooperative project was announced in 1991. The project’s goal was to advance the evolution of the personal computer in five major areas: • PowerPC – Apple, IBM, and Motorola agreed to develop a family of RISC microprocessors. • Interoperability – IBM and Apple agreed to work together to ensure that Macintosh® computers work smoothly with large, networked IBM enterprise systems. This involves products in networking and communication. • PowerOpen® – IBM and Apple agreed to co-develop a new version of the UNIX® operating system that takes advantage of the strengths of the PowerPC microprocessor. • Kaleida – A new company called Kaleida was created to work on new standards for multimedia products. • Taligent – A new company called Taligent was created to develop an object-oriented operating system. While there have been advances in all of these areas, the announcement of the Power Macintosh has focused industry attention on the PowerPC chip. (Note: Microprocessors are often referred to as ‘chips’ or ‘computer chips’.) The PowerPC microprocessor The term PowerPC describes a family of microprocessors that may be used in a variety of computers. Apple Computer has introduced a series of computers based on this microprocessor which they will call Power Macintoshes™. IBM computers that contain the PowerPC microprocessor will be part of the RS6000 series. The RS6000 series is a high-end UNIX product. The Power Macintosh, on the other hand, is intended as a broad- based consumer product.
