Apple Computer Ships Newton Press for Mac OS - A Powerful Desktop
Integration Solution for the Newton Platform

CUPERTINO, California--February 15, 1996--Apple Computer, Inc. today
announced that Newton Press for Macintosh is now available to customers
worldwide through Apple authorized resellers. Newton Press offers an
essential integration capability to customers, making it easy to take
important documents from their Mac OS-based personal computer with them on
their Newton PDA.

Using an easy drag-and-drop method, Newton Press users can create
electronic reference documents or Newton books from files on a Mac
OS-based personal computer. These books are created by simply dropping
files onto the Newton Press icon on the Macintosh, which automatically
formats the document so it can be viewed on a Newton Personal Digital
Assistant (PDA) such as the MessagePad. Newton Press supports a variety of
word processing, text, or graphics documents supported by the Claris XTND
technology for the Mac OS.

"The availability of Newton Press is a significant milestone in our
endeavor to continue the positive momentum generated by Newton 2.0," said
Sandy Benett, acting vice president of Apple's Newton Systems Group. "The
numerous positive reviews and comments we're receiving are a testament to
the genuine viability of the Newton platform and bring us another step
closer to making Newton PDAs the ubiquitous device they were envisioned to
be."

With Newton Press, mobile professionals and corporate customers can take
advantage of the combined power of personal computers, enterprise
information, and Newton PDAs to easily publish and distribute electronic
documents. Word processing files, email messages, graphics and text blocks
from Mac OS-based personal computers now can be readily available to
reference, annotate, fax or print from the Newton PDA. These electronic
documents can even be distributed to other Newton users, making Newton
Press a perfect solution for mobile professionals needing to exchange and
distribute data.

Said Tom Koballa, workstation technologist at St. Louis-based Monsanto
Company, "When I'm in the field, which could be anywhere from the next
door office to one of our regional offices, I need access to a variety of
software and hardware reference information. Rather than haul manuals, or
my laptop loaded with the information, Newton Press lets me access and
retrieve the information from my hand-held MessagePad."

Newton Press for Mac OS is priced at US$69.00. A prerelease version of
Newton Press for Windows is expected to be available free of charge online
in the first half of 1996.
