Classic beauty, cubed
Article Abstract:
The new Apple Power Macintosh G4 Cube computer is compact - taking up less than a square foot of desk space - and beautiful, and is equal in performance to any Windows-based computer. Its 450-MHz G4 chip performs better, Apple says, than a Pentium III chip running at twice the processor speed. The base Cube costs $1,799, and comes with 64 megabytes of system memory, a 20-gigabyte hard drive, a good graphics card, DVD-ROM drive, Ethernet port, FireWire, U.S.B. ports, and 56K modem. It is the perfect computer for use in browsing a fascinating new educational program, Culture 4.0.

Interesting software for the PS/1
Article Abstract:
IBM's PS/1 microcomputer, priced from $999 to $1,999, is not particularly remarkable in itself. Features which make it interesting include the IBM name, with what is implied in terms of service and support; a built-in modem; and the software that is included with it. The software, which is easy to use, is designed for the needs of a typical family or for a single-person home office. When the computer's power is turned on, a display divides the screen into four windows: 'Information,' which leads to how-to tutorials, help and on-line information services; 'Microsoft Works,' which includes a word processor, a spreadsheet, a data-base manager and a communications program; 'Your Software,' which is for a software library; and 'IBM DOS,' with DOS functions. The PS/1 has some drawbacks: it has a slow processor, and it has no expansion slots. The PS/1's strengths are in software and in support.
