With the new chips, Apple may face a civil war as IBM 'loyalists' face off against the 'Progressive' Intelites. Few can comprehend the social costs of such a war, as it would divide one of the few technological armies which stand against the dominant Microsoft Empire. To make matters worse, there are rumors of the new OS Roman Numeral 10 'Tabby' being run on standard PCs, creating fears of an army of mutant MacWindows with no loyalties to their mother Apple and being a brat to their abusive father Microsoft. Also, beware of the fabled Apple gamer. They may claim that Apple computers have superior games and technology to play those games, but do not believe them. Usually, if any games come out (which many believe never happens), then it is usually filled with subliminal messages that reshape the Mac owner's mind to constantly talk about how the "cool" aqua boxes magically slide on and off the screen when they hit f11, and shrink with a so-called "genie" effect (ha, should have wished for vista!).

In an industry whose survival increasingly depends on cutting cost and corners, Apple stands alone as a company that innovates while maintaining their same high level of quality and ease of use. Their software is a light years beyond the industry, and their hardware is constantly advancing with new features ahead of the industry (e.g. flat panel monitors, wireless networking, firewire, etc...). And for those few times when it's needed, their support is second to none in terms of helpfulness, informed, polite, and prompt.

In 1991, Apple introduced the PowerBook line of portable computers. The 1990s ... saw Apple's market share fall as competition from Microsoft Windows and the comparatively inexpensive IBM PC compatible computers that would eventually dominate the market. In the 2000s, Apple expanded its focus on software to include professional and prosumer video, music, and photo production solutions, with a view to promoting their products as a "digital hub". It also introduced the iPod, the most popular digital music player in the world.[8]

The 20-inch Apple Cinema Display is a professional display for the Power Mac or PowerBook that measures up to the most color-critical work. With its 1680 x 1050 pixel resolution, this flat-panel, LCD is an ideal alternative to bulky CRT displays. Its widescreen format makes this a perfect display for creative professionals. With room for viewing two full pages of graphics and text simultaneously, you can forget about wasting time scrolling through a document or toggling between windows. And you'll have plenty of room for tear-off menus, palettes, and toolbars.

Users of Apple computers were today being warned to protect themselves after the existence of a new kind of worm virus emerged. The Leap-A worm, which spreads through instant messaging program iChat, is thought to be the first virus for the Apple platform.

During this time, Apple branched out into consumer electronics. One example of this product diversification was the Apple QuickTake digital camera, one of the first digital cameras brought to the consumer market. A more famous example was the Newton, termed a "Personal digital assistant" or "PDA" by Sculley, that was introduced in 1993. Though it failed commercially, it defined and launched a new category of computing and was a forerunner of devices such as Palm Pilot, PocketPC, and eventually the iPhone.
