Paul's Notes May 1997
Is Apple doomed?
Nope, next question...
Why?
Hey, wait a minute no one said this was essay form. Ok, here's a few reasons why not:
- Claris
Claris Corporation, the wholly owned software subsidiary of Apple Computer, Inc., announced record revenue for its second fiscal quarter which ended March 28, 1997. For the second quarter in a row, Claris posted its highest-ever revenue.
- Quicktime
QuickTime is the multi-platform industry-standard multimedia architecture used by software tool vendors and content creators to create and deliver synchronized graphics, sound, video, text and music.
- Power Computing
- Yes, NeXt too...
and the next Mac OS
Just to name a few...

LCIII
This use to be a Mac LC, then upgraded to LCIII, with an Apple IIe card inside for all my old programs and up to last Nov, was my primary computer. Personally this line of computers is probably Apple's most successful line, in terms of sales, versatility, and usability. I still keep it for the IIe card, as well as for future plans I have. I also use a old copy of SoftPC and SoftWindows on this Mac.
All this and the wish list includes; a DOS Card, CD Burner, MKlinux, and a copy of the BeOS. Making it 4 computers combined into one.
Oh, yeah I've also setup a Appletalk Network (A few mouse clicks and two connectors...tell me you can do that on a Wintel machine) So the two can share documents and printer.
But you guys already knew all this. Right?
