Power computing has pioneered direct marketing and sales in the Macintosh market.
Who cares about the Apple II? The Macintosh is the future of Apple, and you're going to start on it now.
We have modified the Mac OS so it can boot over a network. It thinks it's doing it locally, but it's doing it on a server.
We've clearly hit a speed bump, which will result in our earning, before investment gains, approximately $110 million rather than the expected $165 million for the September quarter, ...
