Apple's New System 7.5 Update 2.0 System Software Free for Limited Time

New Version Offers Improved Stability, Performance

CUPERTINO, California--April 10, 1996--In response to increased customer
demand for the recently announced System 7.5 Update 2.0 Mac OS system
software, Apple Computer, Inc. today announced it will waive shipping and
handling charges and make the software free of charge through May 31,
1996.

"There has been an enormous demand for System 7.5 Update 2.0," said Jim
Gable, senior director of system software product marketing at Apple. "As
a result of this demand, Apple's servers are badly overloaded and similar
problems are occurring at other sites and online services who are offering
the Upgrade. In waiving the shipping and handling charges, Apple can reach
more people with System 7.5 Update 2.0 during this introductory period
with the least possible inconvenience."

What is System 7.5 Update 2.0

System 7.5 Update 2.0 is a new Mac OS system software update designed to
significantly enhance overall system stability while delivering some
performance improvements for Apple Macintosh and Mac OS-compatible
computers. System 7.5 Update 2.0 also gives customers a one-step easy
solution to update all of their Macintosh computers running versions 7.5,
7.5.1 or 7.5.2 of System 7.5, including the PCI-based Power Macintosh
computers, and bring them up to the latest version of the Mac OS--System
7.5.3. The Update also includes the latest version of Apple's new
networking infrastructure, Open Transport 1.1. This version of Open
Transport improves performance in many situations, particularly when using
Internet standards.
