Apple - PowerBook G4

The PowerBook G4 comes loaded with software so easy to use, you’ll find yourself accomplishing things you can only dream of doing on a PC notebook — including burning your own CDs or DVDs — right out of the box.

Mac OS X Jaguar

The world’s most advanced operating system
Mac OS X v.10.2 Jaguar, Apple’s next-generation operating system, is at the center of it all. Mac OS X features automatic networking to make getting online a snap: it senses whether you’re connecting from the office or on the road — and connects you automatically. And with Mac OS X’s Instant On feature, your PowerBook G4 wakes from sleep in less than one second. The ultimate platform for the digital lifestyle, Mac OS X works with today’s most popular FireWire, USB and SCSI peripheral devices.

Mac OS X is a delight to use, but under that engaging Macintosh interface is a rock-solid, UNIX-based, industrial-strength operating system built on battle-tested technologies that do the heavy lifting on the Internet. And it’s programmed to get every last bit of performance out of your software.

	Safari, the Mac OS X default Internet browser, loads pages faster than any other browser for the Macintosh. Safari uses the advanced interface technologies underlying Mac OS X to offer you whole new ways to experience the Internet.
	Mac OS X Mail gives you email that goes beyond words. Now you can drag and drop pictures, sounds and movies into your email, and you can be creative with colors, fonts and formatting commands to enhance the look of your message.
	An instant messaging application that has no peer, iChat takes finding and chatting with your online friends to whole new levels of convenience. Thanks to its built-in compatibility with AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), iChat and your new PowerBook G4 give you automatic immediate access to the more than 150 million members of the AIM and .Mac communities.
	iCal features at-a-glance views of upcoming activities by day, week or month, and lets you track your appointments and events with multiple calendars. You can create separate color-coded calendars for your home and work schedules, and view all your different calendars at the same time from within a single unified window.
	iSync lets you keep your calendar and contact information synchronized up to the minute between your PowerBook G4 and your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone, iPod, PDA and other computers.

Introducing iLife. Suddenly, it all connects.

Let your imagination soar: The iLife software applications let you do fun, creative things with your pictures, music and movies in ways that PC users can only dream about — and then you share your joy with family and friends every which way, from email and the Internet to print and DVD. And you can do all these things and more quite nicely without thumbing through a manual. It’s all part of the iLife experience.

Digital music for your Mac
Looking for the perfect songs to underscore your movie, slide show or DVD? iTunes 4, today’s best-loved digital music player, gives you instant access to your music library and playlists from within the other applications in iLife, just as they are in iTunes. And you can quickly sample your music too — a play button is included so you won’t have to launch iTunes just to find that perfect track.

A star is reborn
The latest version of the revolutionary digital video software that helped Mac users create a million movies, iMovie 3 brings several dazzling new features to your screens, including Skywalker Sound Effects and visual effects like Lens Flare, Fairy Dust, Earthquake and the Ken Burns Pan and Zoom Effect. Plus full QuickTime support, the ability to instantly send to iDVD and much more.

Picture your digital life
iLife enables you to organize, edit and share your digital photos — and even set them to music — with iPhoto 2. Besides letting you enhance your digital photos with a single click of your mouse, iPhoto 2 gives you a Retouch wand tool that makes blemishes disappear like magic. Naturally, you can access your photo albums directly from iMovie and iDVD, and bring in music for your slideshows from iTunes.

Create DVDs on your Mac
Now anyone can create DVDs with chapter markers with iDVD 3. All you have to do is create the chapter markers in iMovie 3 when you edit your movie. You can also search your iTunes library and find music for your projects, and create instant DVD slideshows by selecting your iPhoto album, with dozens of new Hollywood-style themes to choose from.

QuickBooks for Mac New User Edition is a fast and easy financial management tool that has been redesigned from the ground up for Mac OS X. It lets you generate estimates and invoices, track time and job costs, and create reports with exactly the information you want.

Art Directors Toolkit lets you do everything from viewing every possible character in a font to identifying the point size of a 1/8-inch Helvetica “M,” and from capturing the actual color of a pixel on your screen to converting type sizes from points to picas.

OmniGraffle lets you draw perfect diagrams, family trees and flow charts, as well as charts and layouts. You can also use it to plot a movie storyline, create a corporate organization chart, and show the steps necessary to complete a project.

OmniOutliner is a great tool for outlining and organizing your thoughts, maintaining multiple to-do lists and tracking items like your books, CDs or the DVD movies in your home entertainment library.

GraphicConverter lets you import images from over 100 graphic file formats — and export to dozens of graphic file formats. GraphicConverter now has both advanced and basic image manipulation features, does batch conversions and supports AppleScript.

Microsoft Office v.X Test Drive lets you take this best-selling suite of productivity applications out for a spin, giving you a chance to see for yourself just how well Microsoft Entourage, Excel, PowerPoint and Word work with the PowerBook G4 and Mac OS X.

FAXstf X enables you to send faxes directly from any Mac OS X document-based application on your PowerBook G4, including Microsoft Office v.X and Acrobat Reader. And FAXstf X fully supports the 56K internal modem that comes with your PowerBook G4, so you don’t need any additional hardware or software to start using it to send and receive faxes.
