Evolution of the Mac -

The Mac was developed in 1984 to be the user freindly alternative to the prompt line computing offered by IBM. In May 1985 Windows 1.0 was also released, mimicking the MacOS GUI. The Quadra 700 & 900 were large and bulky Mac "towers". 1994 saw the introduction of the PowerMac, the first machines with the new PowerPC processor. The PowerBook 5300, released in 1995: the first laptop designed for the PowerPC processor. Apple announced a campaign for the new Macs and their new OS Rhapsody. The iMac brought back Mac and Apple and subsequent G3s and G4s have sold very well. Apple is now making servers on the OS X Unix operating system.

 

 

   


Apple and Mac Repairs


We do hardware & software repairs and upgrades on hard drives, ram & processors. We can transfer your old data to your new Mac. We also service monitors, printer & logic board repairs.

An note about Apple: Apple does not allow their service providers to do board level repairs, so often the only solution to an otherwise simple problem is a complete motherboard replacement, which usually costs more than the entire used value of the computer.We will be happy to quote you a price on anything that we can order from them including (heaven forbid) a brand new PC. We are also able to get in a limited qty of APPLE refurbished product and discontinued product . We usually try to special order this rather than stock them so let us know your needs. Should your computer require serviceing , we do provide repairs on machines that are sent to our location. The repair cost is based on time and material and the labor

About Apple Operating Systems - OS 9
Apple customers are rapidly adopting Mac OS X, and are now ordering over 50 percent of their Macs with Mac OS X as the default OS. Apple expects this percentage to climb to over 75 percent by the start of the next buying season

Apple said that certain models of the current product line would be made available to until June of 2003 to help the transition of educational institutions. "To accommodate the last 25 percent who still wish to buy their Macs with OS 9 installed as the default OS, Apple will continue to offer our Education customers some configurations of the current eMac, iBook, and CRT iMac product lines that will boot into Mac OS 9 until June 2003," the statement says.

Apple will also be offering its design professionals that use Quark the option to buy a Mac that will boot into OS 9 Starting with Mac OS 9, the File Manager supports files larger than 2 GB on HFS Plus disks and supports up to 8,169 open files. To support more open files, it was necessary to require a different method for programs to get information about open files. Programs using the old method will cause a system error. This change did not affect all programs because most programs do not need information about open files. The class of programs most affected are utilities. Applications that create, read, or modify large files will need to be updated to handle files larger than 2 GB. Most disk utilities will need to be updated to handle large files. Many applications are not intended to handle multi-gigabyte files and may never be updated. Not supporting files larger than 2 GB is not an incompatibility with Mac OS 9.

About Apple Operating Systems - OS X
Mac OS X v10.2 is a different breed of operating system. Jaguar combines the rock-solid reliability of UNIX with the ease of use of Macintosh. This version of Mac OS X is as innovative as the computers that run it. And whether you’re a Mac user who’s upgrading, a Windows user who’s looking at switching to the Mac or a UNIX user who loves the idea of using key applications like Microsoft Office on top of a state-of-the art BSD UNIX implementation, this is the OS for you. Mac OS X v10.2 is loaded with over 150 new features — like an instant messaging client that’s compatible with AOL’s, an enhanced Mail application that lets you filter out junk mail, an address book that’s an activity center for all your contacts, and a full-featured search engine so useful that you’ll soon feel lost without it
