I found this booklet while sorting through old boxes this evening. I seem to recall Apple mailing these to customers circa 1995. Printed on heavy cardstock, I suspect this literature was most likely handed out at various Macintosh independent dealers. Titled “50 Macintosh Advantages”, this propaganda piece attempts to demonstrate why Macintosh computers are better than PCs running Windows 95
.
Many of the reasons brought a chuckle. For your amusement, here are the 10 of the 50 reasons as published in the original text. Take it for what it’s worth:
1. Floppy disk management is easier with Macintosh computers.
2. Checking memory is easier on a Macintosh.
3. Macintosh computers offer more flexible monitor support.
4. Changing your mouse is easier and faster on a Macintosh.
5. Macintosh menus scroll, so they’re easier to use than Windows 95 menus.
6. Macintosh supports plug-n-play peripherals today.
7. Macintosh computers are easier to network.
8. The Mac OS keeps track of files and applications over a network.
9. Infrared networking is more powerful and more versatile with Macintosh computers.
10. Macintosh makes Internet access and publishing easier.
Enjoy!
