MOFFETT
The largest word
history got there
ocessor in Mac
by thinking small.
When we in-
_ troduced Microsoft’
Word six years ago,
we werent planning
on making history.
We had just
one goal, a” a fairly simple one at
that: to make a word processor that
suited peoples needs.
Then again, we knew that the
people we wanted to suit were a wild-
ly diverse, independent lot: Mac’ users.
So it made sense to let them tell us
exactly what to put into Word.
Which they did.
First, there were some folks
who didnt like tabbing much. Fair
enough. For them, we developed Ta-
bles—an easier way to set up side-by-
side paragraphs, columns of numbers,
even forms. No tabs. No hassle.
Then we heard from a few more
people. “Love the Tables gig.’ they said.
“Now, about this text-numbers-graph-
ics combo all in one document...”
We made that simple with“warm
links” Once you've linked Microsoft
Excel data to a document, keeping
that document updated with the lat-
est Microsoft Excel figures is easy. Just
click your mouse.
Sind those
Allrighis:
Then there were those senders
of mail, who didn't want to click-click-
dlick-click-clickeclick.
So we built support for Microsoft
Mail right into Word. Now, with just a
click, everyone stays in the loop. And
work in progress stays in progress.
As it happens, listening to what
Mac users want is a pretty good way to
design software.
How else can we explain Word
version 4.0 being the most popular
word processor in Mac history?
And those cards and letters are
still coming; “Listen, someone'll say. “Tn
case youre working on the next Word...”
Which we are. In fact, if you've
got some input for us, feel free to drop
us a line. Or if youd like to find out
more about Word, call us at (800) 541-
1261, Department N24.
Our goal is still simple: to make
Word the best word processor around.
With the latest technology—translated
into human terms, of course.
After all, were only making his-
tory because we make word processors
the way you like’em.

fers (FTP, DEC FAL), file servers (NES, TOPS, AppleShare),
E-mail gateways (such as GatorMail Q), database services to
FastPath 4
access host-based databases (Oracle for Macintosh, Clear
Access) and network print sharing with filtering options.
FastPath Supports Itself With Battery-Backed Up RAM.
FastPath won't let you or your network down — even when
the power goes down. Battery-Backed-Up RAM ensures
uninterrupted operation and saves your network
configuration.
We're working to make FastPath even better, with more
powerful performance and management features. Call Shiva

“We've Broken
the Price
Barrier to
Large Screen
ductivity!”
“Most Mac owners don't have large screens
because they can't “afford” them. So they
put up with the squinting, eye strain, and
the constant scrolling on a 9" screen. What
a tragic loss of productivity!
But now with the ability to purchase factory-
direct, you can't afford not to own a large
screen, Without dealer markups and rep
commissions you save over 40 percent.
But not all larye screen systems are alike, so
do your homework! We have. And the result
is four complete systems designed to seriously
impact your productivity.
We're so proud of our display systems that
each comes with a 30 day “Love-It-Or-
Retumt” guarantee. So take advantage of
this riskfree opportunity to increase your
productivity with a large screen. You'll
wonder how you ever lived without it!"
emer h.
Ronald E. Eibensteiner, PresidenvCEO
We've Made Large Screen
Productivity Affordable,
‘Our engineers and designers were given the charter
to build no-compramise display systems. The result is
a full line of large screen display systems that rival
the very best (Radius, SuperMac and RasterOps), at
Prices that make them a better value, The savings
that you realize are not due to product differences so
much as distribution differences. You see, we choose
to bypass the middleman, thereby eliminating rep
commissions and dealer markups to save you over
40 percent
Finally, A 20” Trinitron” System
That Breaks The $3000 Barrier!
Our engineers designed our ProView® System
around Sony's patented TTinitron® technology, which
has become the standard by which all Macintosh
screens are measured. Expect vivid color, superior
geometric linearity, and sharp focus, only before
available in systems selling for twice the price,
‘We designed our ProView interface cards to minimize
‘component count and power consumption for
superior reliability and long life. Our ProVView 8:Bit In-
terface lets you choose between 1, 4, or 8 bit modes
and gives you up to 256 colors
At $3997 Our 24-Bit Trinitron” System
Costs Less Than Most 8-Bit Systems.
Our new ProView/24 Tiinitron® System gives you
photographic image quality with 167 million colors
available. If you're doing desktop publishing color
graphic design or retouching color photos, Pro
View/24's photo-realism will enhance the speed and
quality of your productions.
Our PixelView Il Gives You WYSIWYG
Scaling For Under $1000!
‘You've heard the reviewers speak of WYSIWYG (what
‘you see is what you get) scaling and its importance
to graphic applications. Now its available on a two
page display for under $1000!
Our engineers chose P104 phospher for reduced
eyestrain, And an anti-glare coating that allows the
PixelView Il to be used in any lighting situation, Plus
a screaming 7BHz refresh rate for a rock solid flicker
View An Entire 8¥2”x11” Page
For Under $500!
Our PivelView I portrait display allows you to view a
full page at one time. You get a paperlike display
with a crisp, stable image. And like all Mirror

Apple Decides to Ship Backlit Portable
Apple has solved the memory-addressing problems
that delayed the backlit-LCD version of the Macin-
tosh Portable and will announce and ship the ma-
chine soon, an Apple representative said. The
backlit Portable will replace the existing version,
will cost about $1800 less, and will be able to ad-
dress 8MB of RAM and work with third-party RAM
boards. A model with 2MB of RAM and an internal
40MB hard drive will list for $4199, while a model
with 4MB of RAM and the same hard drive will list
for $4699. Apple will charge owners of the original
Mac Portable about $1050 to add the backlighting
feature to their machines if they choose to upgrade.
No Market for Lotus MarketPlace
Saying that Lotus MarketPlace is “at the apex of an
emotional fire storm of public concern about con-
sumer privacy,” Lotus president Jim Manzi an-
nounced plans to cancel publication of CD ROMs
containing marketing information about 120 mil-
lion U.S. consumers, and to discontinue a similar
database of marketing information about 7 million
U.S. businesses. The MarketPlace information was
to be supplied by Equifax and TRW, two large credit
bureaus that compile and sell information on
businesses and consumers to private companies.
Seeks FCC Approval for Radio Networks
‘Apple has filed a petition with the Federal Com-
munications Commission asking it to allocate a part
of the radio spectrum for high-speed computer
communications. If this is approved, Macs could
soon be using radio waves—instead of wire-based
networks—to communicate.
Radius, Fusion Introduce 68040-Based Accelerators
With Motorola finally shipping production quanti-
ties of its 68040 microprocessors, several vendors
have announced accelerators using the new chip.
Radius recently demonstrated a prototype 68040
accelerator for NuBus Macs and said it expects to
announce a final version in the first quarter of 1991.
The accelerator is designed to work with Radius’s
line of graphics products, integrating with its ex-
isting calibration, compression, and image-capture
offerings. The price, ship date, and name of the
product were not set at press time. Also, Fusion
Data Systems announced the TokaMac LC, a 68040.
accelerator that fits in the Processor Direct Slot of
the Macintosh LC. Fusion is planning versions for
the Msi, the Hci, and the SE/30. The TokaMac LC
lists for $2995 and was slated to ship in late Febru-
ary. For more information, contact Radius at 408/
434-1010, or Fusion’s distributor, Quantum Leap
Systems, at 619/457-0781.
At the ACIUS Supermarket
ACIUS has grown from a one-product shop to one-
stop shopping. Hard on the heels of 4DWrite,
4DCalc, and other 4th Dimension add-ons, ACIUS
has announced a database server that it claims runs
30 to 100 times faster than multiuser 4D. Several
people can modify a database structure simulta-
neously, even while clients are changing the
database's contents. 4D Server has features com-
mon on minicomputers, such as priority levels for
clients. ACIUS is also developing a tool kit for us-
ing MacroMind Director, RadiusTY, Bright Star's
InterFACE, and several other multimedia products
inside 4D, and externals to communicate with
Northern Telecom digital telephone switches. Pric-
ing was not set at press time. For more informa-
tion, contact ACIUS at 408/252-4444.

even providing calibrator strips to scan in and out-
put files to test with a densitometer. Astral’s next
product for the Mac, Picture Publisher Plus, is a
color photo-editing package that will support color
separation, blends, color masking, transparency,
and other features appropriate for 32-bit color. It
will provide tools for calibrating color scanners,
and controls for four-color printing, including un-
dercover removal, gray-component boost, and dot-
gain and ink-contamination settings. Picture

Preferred Software appears to be emerging from
its time of trouble, after passing through two man-
agement purges. Preferred still publishes DAtabase,
Vantage, Exposure (now Exposure Pro), and sey-
eral other products, and is working on new prod-
ucts. FlashCrypt is intended to be a convenient,
high-speed encryption tool. DoubleTalk is a full-
featured telecommunications program with a
scripting language. DoubleTalk can be used to build
a BBS, can be driven from inside HyperCard, and
has a proprietary Zmodem protocol that Preferred
claims is faster than standard Zmodem. Later,
DoubleTalk will have a run-time and a Windows
version, and support modemless communications
over Ethernet (and maybe AppleTalk); the
modemless version could be a platform to build
an electronic-mail package on. DoubleTalk 1.1 is
shipping now at $149.95 ($249.95 for two copies).
Pricing and ship dates for FlashCrypt and later ver-
sions of DoubleTalk have not been set. For more

Macworld Expo ’91
Wortp’s LARGEST COMPUTER FLEA MARKET
BY JERRY BORRELL
or a week last January, San Francisco had the
feeling of the world’s largest computer flea market. Not since the
heyday of Jim Warren’s Computer Faire (where Steve and Steve
first introduced the Apple 1 to the public) has the City by the Bay
been so dominated by one event.
There was no sign of an economic
recession at the exposition as visitors
thronged the two major exhibit halls,
gawking at the latest products and
purchasing enough computer equip-
ment to outfit a small city. Through-
out the four days there were lines at
Dr. Mac, ComputerWare, Educorp,
Computer Selection, and at other
booths where Mac products were ac-
tually sold, And no wonder—at
ComputerWare you could buy a
100MB hard drive for $699, a 195MB
model for $999, Adobe Photoshop for
$475, T/Maker’s SmartBundle for $199.
A festive atmosphere prevailed. People
waddled out with shopping bags full
of products. Marketeers barked carni-
val style at passersby. Microsoft cheer-
leaders had visitors chanting enthusi-
astically for product giveaways. Several
companies offered product training to
groups of attendees on the show floor.
There were even some Classics and
LCs in evidence. Developers forgot to
curse the exposition’s organizers. And
Apple, once the center of the Mac-
world exhibits, seemed lost in the
crowd of developers seeking to sup-
port the Macintosh. More people than
we have ever seen at a Macworld.
Video Products Lead
Announcements made in San Fran-
cisco, and those that will precede the
August Macworld Expo, show that
video is taking a dramatic lead in cut-
ting-edge technology for the Macin-
tosh. Light Source demonstrated its
video editing system. Electric Image
was showing software (now shipping
after kicking around for a couple of
years) that’s designed to do titling in
3-D for video. Digital F/X announced
its intention to produce a software-
only version of its award-winning video
software. Bravo—selling turnkey sys-
tems for more than $20,000 is anti-
thetical to current Mac trends.
SuperMac showed SuperSqueeze,
video compression based upon the
C-Cube Microsystems microprocessor.
E-Machines also announced real-time
compression-decompression. A host
of smaller developers, led by Com-
motion, challenged larger companies’
leadership in this area with software
that accomplishes the same result
without a hardware assist. Apple was
mum about its video software but
demonstrated a Sony product with a
built-in video interface that hinted at
a future relationship in the video
product arena. RasterOps pushed its
technology further by introducing a
$1000 24-bit board with acceleration
and video overlay. The old pioneer,
Mass Microsystems, introduced a 24-
bit video overlay board with a really
neat interface, but one that's a little
behind the technology of products
from RasterOps and Radius.
RasterOps also stole SuperMac’s
MACWORLD » APRIL 1991
thunder by showing a wall of Barco
display monitors organized to act in-
dividually or to work together in
monolithic, single-display fashion. The
first shipping products to expand the
display capacity of the LC, Classic, and
si were shown. Lapis, Mirror, and
Ehman had monochrome displays for
the Classic. NEC offered a color dis-
play for the si. RasterOps, in another
first, had a 24-bit board with built-in
acceleration for the si—a real problem,
given that machine's poor power sup-
ply. Radius offered a connection for
the Pivot monitor to the LC, but no
two-page displays for the newest Macs.
SuperMac showed its 8-bit processor
direct slot-based board.
Dynamac showed a flat panel LCD
screen for the si that, for some, makes
that computer a portable (so did John
Sculley, in a cheap shot at his own
portable). In Focus Systems showed
its latest LCD for overhead projectors.

One of the subtle but rewarding as-
pects of the show was the richness of
products—the breadth of the offerings

Award-Winning Design.
Hard drives that win design awards?
Who says intelligence has to be ugly?
The Tsunami and Cirrus hard drives have
received prestigious awards from both
the industrial design and computer
communities.
La Cie drives are designed from the
inside out. Designed to be quiet (with a % speed fan), light-
weight (as light as 2% Ibs.), durable and reliable. Plus, they have
an external termination switch, which means you'll never have
to open the case for any reason! You don’t win awards for these
features, but you do win a loyal following.
Rave Reviews from Critics and Customers.
Frankly, there’s been a lot of talk about La Cie hard drives.
Leading Macintosh consumer magazines praise us.
Customers write us fan letters. In fact, we're happy to let critics
and customers have the last word about La Cie drives. Because
they tend to be words like these:

“,,.the cream of the crop.”—Macworld
“Of all the drives tested we recommend La Cie’s drive.”—MacUser
“This is an excellent drive and Silverlining is great!”—D. Jordan

How to Master 20 Popular
Macintosh Programs
Macintosh Programs Can Be
Learned in a Few Hours With the
Right Training
Over the past four years I've been associ-
ated with over 50,000 people attempting to
learn the Macintosh computer. I've watched
as each person wages their own personal,
private battle to master the computer and the
most popular Macintosh programs.
I've seen their frustration, have empa-
thized with their confusion, and understood
their computer fears. I've talked to workers
who have had new computers and new
programs simply dropped on their desk with
the directive to, "learn this." I've listened to
people who have struggled night after night
trying to read and understand a computer
manual. Can you imagine trying to under-
stand and master 4th Dimension from the
manual?
You would be surprised at the number of
people who have confided with me the fact
that they've literally given up ever learning
some of the programs. They simply put the
box on the shelf and wrote the expenditure
off as a bad investment.
Hard Earned Money Wasted
Can you imagine how much money has
been wasted on programs and computers
that are sitting abandoned? Right now think
of the people working on Macs in your
office. Do they really understand the ma-
chine? Do they know what to do when it
goes down? How many programs are each
of your people using? Have they really
mastered the programs they're using? Do
they know the short-cuts and valuable tech-
niques that will save you time, money, and
increase your professionalism?
An Excellent, Low Cost Training Answer
Four years ago I founded MacAcademy.
My purpose was to create a training orga-
nization that provided training similar in
nature to the Macintosh itself - simple, easy
to use, and effective.
Now, four years later the concept has
proven to be a great success. Right now
people are benefiting from MacAcademy
training in over 100 cities in the U.S., in
Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Japan,
Hong Kong, and 22 additional countries
throughout the world.
MacAcademy training is successful for
one reason - it works!
The Video Answer
Two years ago we introduced the MacA-
cademy Video Training Library. This li-
brary now includes over 45 different titles.
Each video is 2 hours long and offers clear,
concise, effective training forthe Macintosh
and over 20 popular programs. In many
cases you can purchase up to 6 hours of
training for one program.
MacAcademy has resisted the temptation
to follow competitive training programs who
have recently implemented large price in-
creases. Our videos started out at $49 each
and are still only $49. The best training in
the business for less than $50. This low cost
training alternative has proven to be the
Macintosh training choice of over 10,000
companies,
Guaranteed Results
The MacAcademy reputation is excellent.
Our guarantee is simple: If you're not happy
we'll give your money back. No hassles or
problems.

COMMENTARY
Riddler from Threshold Publishing for
the toddler with a yen to compute;
Tesserae from Inline Design for those
addicted to geometric puzzles on the
Mac; and SpaceShip Warlock, a CD
game from Mike Saenz. Just buy this
disk, will you? Let’s all support Mike
so that he can develop the master-
piece that is simmering away in his
active imagination.) Also a new CD

about 100MB of new stuff and planets
from Mediagenic. PC Globe, a PC soft-
ware company, was showing carly
versions of mapping and educational
games for the Mac that have great
promise.
CD Authoring
Meridian Data announced a Mac-based
CD ROM mastering system for about
$30,000, while Authorware has a new
version of its authoring software in the
works. Highlighted Data, producer of
several works on CD ROM, is shipping
anew CD ROM disc called Who Owns
What, a guide to ownership of rights
to movies and video for the current
century. As far as laser discs go, The
Voyager Company, Robert Stein’s
hobby and working concern, launched
four new discs: on Eadweard Muy-
bridge, Igor Stravinsky (CD ROM
only), Michelangelo, and the Louvre.
Desktop Publishing
Aldus has finally published Silicon
Beach's Personal Pr software.
Timeworks has a new version of Pub-
lish It called Publish It Easy, which
competes with Personal Press and has
a richer feature set at a lower price.
Aldus has recognized the speed
problems of PageMaker 4.0 and is
preparing a faster version. Ventura
Publisher Macintosh Edition is at long
last shipping, and Frame Technology
told me about an update to Frame-
Maker 2.0 for the Mac.
QuarkXPress, the spoiler for
Aldus, has increased its competitive
drive and is actively taking PageMaker
market share. Letraset, jammed into
a tiny booth, drew crowds of faithful
users to see its Studio line of prod-
ucts, with ColorStudio the most suc-
cessful. The company has reorganized
