1. Put Your Passwords on a Keychain

Now, what is that password for the New York Times reader forums? Is
it the same as the password you chose for that online fly fishing
magazine? Or did you use your AOL password? And how are you going to
be able to transfer those funds if you can't remember the password
you set for your new web-based bank account?

Have you had this problem? You won't ever again if you upgrade your
system to Mac OS 9.

That's because Mac OS 9 has a great new Keychain feature, one you
can use to store all your user IDs and passwords. Set them once, and
then each time you start your Macintosh, you can use your voice--or
one typed password--to unlock them all.

In fact, compatible applications will even enter them automatically
for you. To read more about the Keychain--and other features we've
added to this newest (and best ever) version of the Mac OS--visit:

2. Got a Few Minutes this Weekend?

Then be sure to visit your favorite Apple dealer. Because this
weekend, October 23 and 24, Apple is celebrating the arrival of the
newest version of the Macintosh operating system: Mac OS 9.

We'll have Mac OS 9 gurus out all over the US: answering your
questions, demonstrating some of the exciting new features in
Mac OS 9--like Sherlock 2, for example--and explaining how easy it
is to install, use, and become immediately more productive with
Mac OS 9, your Internet co-pilot.

You'll find more information about our Demo Days at:

3. iMac DV Hits Three Home Runs

"The best, most reasonably priced Macs ever"--that's how Bob
LeVitus, the respected columnist and author, described our new
iMac DV models in a recent article in the Houston Chronicle.

According to LeVitus, iMac DV scores big time with those using the
affordable computer at home, offering, in one system, "an awesome
personal computer, video workstation and home theater."

In fact, the author maintains that with the release of iMac DV,
"Apple has brought the cost of creating and editing video on a
personal computer down to a level almost anyone can afford."

Why does LeVitus feel so strongly about iMac DV? Read his article
for more of this Mac columnist's insights:

4. Share Your Work with 17 Million People

If you create digital content and like to share your work with
others, we know a few people who would really enjoy partaking of
your creative vision--the over 17 million people (give or take a
few) who use QuickTime 4 on Macintosh and Windows computers.
 
In fact, we have a seminar coming up that will let you see how easy
it is not only to create QuickTime digital content but also to
deliver it to millions of people--via e-mail, on CD, and over the
Internet.

It's called QuickTime Live! It will be held in Los Angeles,
California, from November 8-11. And we'd really like you to attend.

5. Technically Speaking ...

You're up on the web, tooling around on your new iMac DV, and you
stumble across a file with a ".gz," ".hqx," ".smi," or ".tar"
suffix.

"Exactly what kind of file is that?" you hear yourself asking.

We can tell you. We have answers to a lot of your technical
questions in our Technical Information Library. For example, the
article, "Internet: Common File Formats," lists over three dozen
file suffixes you're likely to encounter on the Internet, explains
what they are, and tells you how you can open or use them. Find the
article at:

http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n24464

By the way, this is the first of an ongoing series of articles
designed to acquaint you with the wealth of information and products
available from AppleCare, our support and service organization. Look
for it in every issue of Apple eNews.



6. A Port by Every Pillow

At Western Carolina University in Culowhee, North Carolina, Ethernet
connections in every room and a healthy supply of Macintosh
computers get students up both on the web and their studies.

"Students need to know how to make web pages, turn in assignments
over the web, and do research on the web. All that's going on now at
Western."

So advises Josh Wisenbaker, a newly graduated European History major
at Western Carolina University, the first public university in North
Carolina to require incoming freshmen to own a personal computer.

7. This Guy Likes to Talk

Shawn King hosts the Mac Show, a radio show about all things
Macintosh that originates from Vancouver, British Columbia.

But while the Mac Show has hundreds of enthusiastic listeners, it
isn't "broadcast" over the radio. In fact, there's no radio station
at all.

At least not a traditional one. No, Shawn King, a Macintosh
consultant and president of his local Macintosh user group,
"broadcasts" the Mac Show via QuickTime streaming.

But as King's expertise is in the Mac, not in radio broadcasting, he
naturally used the tools he knew to achieve the end he desired.
"With QuickTime streaming," he says, "we can literally do the show
from an iBook--just set up anywhere we like and start broadcasting."
