As the Apple Turns: Scene 244: Stocking Stuffers (12/6/97)

Stocking Stuffers (12/6/97)

Still looking for the perfect gift for the Machead in your life? Well, if you wait another week, Apple's rewarding procrastinators with a round of price cuts on December 13th, according to Macintouch. How about, for instance, a 20th Anniversary Macintosh for $3999? That's a real bargain (at least, compared to its original $7500 sticker price). One thing: the discounted price doesn't include the special "concierge service." We know you're crushed.

For those of you who haven't got four grand to drop on a stylish but relatively slow concept Mac, how about a Quicktake 200 digital camera for $249? That's a full 50% off its current price. Could be a good stocking stuffer for that Mac lover/shutterbug in your life. It's particularly well-suited for any webmasters you may know (hint, hint). And don't forget-- the Apple Store is still giving away free Quicktake 200's with every order of a Powermac G3 or 8600.

By the way, whatever happened to those "Hot Box" Mac deals that Apple Recon reported? Any sign? 'Cuz, as we all know, Apple Recon has never, ever been wrong.

Other scenes from that episode:

245: UMAX Leash Loosened (12/6/97) Mac the Knife may be only marginally more comprehensible than, say, James Joyce on a bad day, but he does dish the good dirt. Of particular interest in this week's installment is the news that Apple has lifted some of the weight from UMAX's cloning restrictions, thus resulting in new G3-based clones this January. At the height of the Clone Wars, Apple announced that it would not certify any G3-based clone designs, thus killing the Power Computing PowerTower Pro G3 and the Motorola StarMax 6000 before they could even ship out of the factories...
246: Communication Breakdown (12/6/97) Suddenly Microsoft software doesn't seem like a very good value for colleges and universities. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, Microsoft has just killed its concurrent-use licensing policy, moving entirely to a per-computer licensing system...
