creative genius that many suggest that the Macintosh has cultured. When Jobs returned to the helm of Apple it was in deep trouble its share price fell to $12 US and closed at $43 yesterday. 800,000 of those little iMacs are sitting on desks, kitchen cupboards and dens around the world. The "C" version is now being shipped and is down $100 US and has two more gigabytes of hard drive space. The iMac as you will recall comes without a floppy disk drive and uses USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports for peripheries,

keyboard and mouse. This trend had already been developing in the rest of the computer industry as Microsoft Windows 98 is able to address this port that is found on many new Intel based computers and permits the use of very low cost items such as cameras, scanners and printers. The iMac continues to make news asAvid has announced a version of its video editing software designed specifically for the machine. On Tuesday Apple released its new upscale computer the G3 Pro and code named Yosemite. It is dressed like the iMac but comes with yet another innovation, "Firewire". Also like the iMac it has no floppy, uses USB ports and now for the first time since 1986, the standard SCSI port, used for hard drives and other heavy data movers, has been omitted and is an option on the new machine. This new computer comes with IBM or Motorola 750 powerPC copper based processor that run at three to four hundred megahertz as this computer runs from $1,600 US to $5,000. Released with this machine is the Internet and office server version which is delivered with both Apache and WebObjects serving software and using Apple's new QuickTime 4.0 can deliver streaming video on line.
