HP to Replace Faulty Power Supplies in LaserJet IIP
Hewlett-Packard has announced a recall of approxi-

cause their power supplies may suddenly fail. The
power supplies are all in early models of the IP pur-
chased before March of 1990. The power supplies
are not faulty if the printer's serial number begins
with 3. HP has set up a number, 800/233-5153, to call
to find out if your IP has a defective power supply. If
you haye one of the bad power supplies you can
either contact your dealer or an HP custome:
center and have the power supply replaced for free,
or you can return the printer to HP and receive a
remanufactured printer at no cost. In the latter case,
HP covers all shipping costs and renews the warranty
to one year. The company says that the flawed power
supplies represent no safety hi

here I am, standing in someone's booth at
the Macworld Expo in Boston, dressed up and feeling like the nerd

asks Mike Boich, president of Radius. Since Mike is in the process of
making a few million taking his com-

the Macintash peripherals market look
like the IBM PC peripherals market
(that is, cutthroat and cost-competi-

least one aspect of the Mac arena—
hard disk drives. In the face of rock-
bottom prices like $399 for a 20MB
and $499 for a 40MB internal drive,
many manufacturers of hard drives
have announced second product
lines with lower prices (and cheaper
components). Peripheral Land has
had a second, lower-cost product
line for some time. Jasmine, Micro-
tech International, Rodime, and Pro-
com are now offering both low-cost
and more expensive product lines.
Something similar has been occur-
ring in the market for monitors. Lapis,
Ehman, Nutmeg, and others have been
driving the market at the low-cost end
for some time now. At the show you
could buy a monochrome portrait
monitor and video card from Lapis for
only $549. That compares with a $2000
solution from Apple only last year,
I'm not saying 1 would buy the
lowest-priced peripherals in all cases,
just that the price of some technolo-
gies is moving down rapidly.
Some Really Big Hard Drives
Sure, there were megagigabyte hard
drives. But the real change is coming
as a result of users who buy 60MB to
100MB drives. And of businesses buy-

dustry pundits love to cite consumers’
inexhaustible demand for processing
power, I want to point out that we have
an inexhaustible demand for storage
as well. The graphics market in par-
ticular is driving the demand for stor-
age—and the Macintosh is the driving
force in the mass market of graphics
users today.
Manufacturers of tape storage de-
vices (the favorite backup device of
business) announced 8mm tape drives
less than two years ago. This year
four companies were showing 4mm
tape drives, Overall, the 4mm technol-
ogy is the smallest (in physical size)
and largest (in amount of storage) on
the market.
I often write about erasable optical
drives with enthusiasm. So at each
trade show, you can find me looking
for the latest products—in particular
I'm excited about 3'/2-inch optical disks.
Both Pinnacle and Ocean MicroSystems
have shown 3'/2-inch optical drives at
Macworld Expos. The removable me-
dia store 128MB on a single disk. Still,
I'm told, neither company can send
one to my office.

video. Then came the breakthrough
of real-time video display on the Mac.
At the August Expo we saw devices
that integrate video input, video our
put, titling, and special effects on
complex NuBus video-board
Again, the third-party developers have
beaten Apple to the punch with video
products, Apple is readying video cap-
ture, display, and image editing/ma-
nipulation products for release in 1991.
Still, independent developers show
every sign of being able to sta oral
moves ahead of the Apple.
A final note on display technolo-
gies: I saw two color LCD display pan-
els for use with overhead projectors
that are the first of their kind I would
want to own, These new products from
Proxima and In Focus are actually ca-
pable of showing rich color palett
Graphics and Imaging
Some computer industry critics openly
fear that Apple is allowing the Mac to
be positioned as a niche-market ma-
chine for graphics. My point of view is
that the Mac is superbly positioned to
be the mast graphical of computers—
and potentially is in a position to ben-
efit as those graphics open new fields
of use for the Mac in entertainment,
the sciences, design, publishing, and
many other fields.
Having Pixar—winner of an Acad-
emy Award for animation, scion of film-
maker George Lu nd all-around

hardware and concentrate on writing
software for the Macintosh is reason
alone to celebrate. But there's also
Topas (from AT&T Graphics Software),
the software known for extraordinary
rendering, being ported to the Mac.
VIDI has vastly improved the render-
ing capabilities of its Presenter pack-

advanced renderers to its software.

version of Swivel 3D, Swivel 3D

COMMENTARY
where image compression comes in.
We have had Aladdin's Stuffit in use
here for Macworld files sent to Mac-
world magazines throughout the
world. Now there’s Stuflit Plus, which
is much easier to use.
A new area of imaging technology
is focused upon compressing and de-
compressing images according to the
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts
Group) single-frame scheme and the
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)
video-sequence scheme, standards in
draft stages with the American National
Standards Institute. C-Cube was the first
to develop silicon chips, NuBus boards,
and software intended to serve the
market. At the Expo, Micron demon-
strated a compression NuBus board
using Storm Technology Software. Also
at the show SuperMac demonstrated,
but did not exp! prototype hard-
ware and software for the compression
and decompression of video.
And there are several other com-
panies, such as Newbridge and Creative
Solutions, at work on how to shrink
and reconstitute large image-data files
in real time, Once this is accomplished
(in six months), perhaps we will be able
to transmit 40MB images over standard
phone wires and decompress them at
a remote location in an instant. (Well,
sort of—transmission at 9600 baud will
take quite a while.) Similarly, we will
be able to store large amounts of ana-
log video on digital hard drives and
use our Macs as video editing stations
(as an example of what's coming, see a
rather remarkable product from
MacroMind called MediaMaker).
Desktop Publishing
What computer exposition would be
complete without announcements
from our friends in DTP? One answer:
The same kind of show that would see
little progress with desktop presenta-
tion. But let's not dwell on Microsoft's
inactivity with PowerPoint or Aldus's
needed improvements to Persuasion.
Frame demonstrated a very solid
looking version of its soon-to-be-pub-
lished product. Ventura demonstrated
a very solid looking beta of its . . . to-
be-published product. Quark showed
and is shipping QuarkXPress 3.0, a
product that should have Aldus look-
ing very hard over its shoulder.

Surge Suppressor
the
power protection unit
on the left is more expensive than
the oneon thet right.
As you can see, the surge sup-
pressor on the left costs a few hundred
dollars less than the APC Uninterrup-
tible Power Source (UPS) on the right.
What you don’t see is that it could
end up costing you and your
business thousands of dollars
in hidden and unnecessary
expenses, That's because
surge suppressors protect
against a disturbingly low
percentage of total
power disturbances.
According to
Bell Labs, surges represent
only 8% of the power problems sais
that affect computers. What's more,
the sags, brownouts and blackouts
that make up the other 92% can be
just as damaging to the hardware and
software of your Macintosh as that
first 8% — resulting in costly data loss,
system downtime, and service costs.
That’s why APC offers a

selection of UPS systems for the
Macintosh. Only a UPS system gives
you 100% protection against the com-
plete range of power problems that
routinely affect computers and data.
gj And among major manufactur-
Jers, only APC offers a complete
ine of UPS systems designed

In fact, we're the leading devel-
oper of power protection
equipment for micro-
computers — sery-
icing hundreds

APC UPS protection helps you

ness applications and the integrity of
your creative work.

All of these benefits prompted
Macintosh Buyer's Guide to com-
ment, “,..the APC UPS systems are
indispensible. .[They] represent a
solid value and perform above their
specifications.”
No matter which Macintosh
model you use, APC offers a UPS sys-
tem designed to be fully compatible
with it. The Model 110SE is designed
for use with the Macintosh SE, SE/30,

COMMENTARY
QuarkXPress 3.0 is going to be the
stiffest competition that Aldus Page-
Maker has ever had. Quark has finally
gotten it together to compete on all
fronts with Aldus.
One interesting tangential devel-
opment arena for DTP is that of color
matching. Radius and E-Machines have
joined together to share technology
for RGB and CMYK color matching,
which they say is based on a unique
license of the Pantone system. Super-
Mac, meanwhile, announced a host of
cooperating developers for its own
scheme of RGB and CMYK color
matching.
(A personal plea to Mike Boich,
Mike McConnell e Vollum, and
Kieth Sorenson: please get together
and talk to one another about this.
