DISCUSSION

    iMac is, quite simply, an outrageously attractive, surprisingly affordable, and extraordinarily easy-to-set-up-and-use system. It comes fully loaded, but brings along none of the hassle you might associate with the word computer. Get ready for the excitement of swift, simple Internet access-your passport to a world of information. And the thrill of playing a game so richly detailed you actually feel like you're in another world. Then consider the fact that iMac delivers significantly more power than you'd expect from a computer at such a great price.

    Just looking at iMac tells you this is a different kind of computer. Apple's attention to detail is clearly demonstrated in every aspect of its product design-from the built-in monitor with crystal-clear focus, to the translucent mouse that responds to the slightest touch, to the integrated stereo speakers. And iMac is now available in five dazzling colors-blueberry, strawberry, tangerine, lime, and grape-that will dress up your home office, add a tasteful touch to your kitchen, or class up your college kid's dorm room.

    But its award-winning design isn't all that makes iMac a best-seller. Beneath its jaw-dropping exterior, iMac is a rocket of a computer. Its PowerPC G3 processor, integrated 3D graphics accelerator, and 6MB of video memory make it lightning fast. It features USB, the new high-speed connection standard that lets you easily attach peripherals such as printers, digital cameras, game pads, joysticks, or storage devices-without shutting down and restarting your computer. To handle all your communications needs, iMac comes with a speedy 56K internal modem for dial-up connections and quick, easy Internet access. *** It also includes built-in high-speed Ethernet, which not only provides efficient L AN connections, but makes iMac ready to handle even faster communications technologies in your home, such as DSL and cable modems.

    Whether you're a first-time computer user or a highly experienced one, iMac-with its powerful, state-of-the-art (and beyond) features and simplicity of setup and operation-is the ideal choice. It will let you do the things you want to do with a computer, and many things you may only have dreamed about.
