Dear Apple Customers:
Apple began with a simple idea: that the power of computing should be
available and accessible to everyone. With that idea, we helped launch the
personal computer. And as we begin our 20th year, this idea of individual
empowerment continues to be the driving force behind Apple Computer.
We are also moving forward aggressively with new technologies and products
that will play to Apple's strengths in multimedia and the Internet. And
with the strong support of our third-party developers, we now have over 1,400
Macintosh native PowerPC applications, including over 800 that are
"Mac-first" or "Mac-only."
