Introducing our most powerful Macintosh yet.
(Shown actual size.)
You only get one brain per lifetime. Unless, of course, you’re a
Macintosh® computer. In which case, you can now trade up in a very big way.
The new Mac OS 8.5 is here. For only $99*, it’s an
affordable way to give your PowerPC™-based Mac a higher level of intelligence.
Just how advanced is Mac OS 8.5? For starters, it’s the world’s most
Internet-savvy OS. With the power to hunt down information around the world using
multiple Internet search engines simultaneously.
It’s now up to five times faster than its predecessor. With the ability to
zap huge files across a network faster than Windows NT.**
It’s just plain smarter. With a host of intelligent features to streamline and
automate the things you do every day.
Best of all, it’s easy. Double-click the install icon, and in less than 15
minutes[cross]; you’ve got a whole new Macintosh.
*Estimated retail price. Tax not included.
**Based on copying large files over 100Mbps Ethernet via
IP. [cross]For iMac™; other models may vary.

Mac OS 8.5: Starring Sherlock, your personal search detective.
Remember the ever-useful “Find” feature? Now it’s
infinitely more powerful. In Mac OS 8.5, we call it
Sherlock™ – because, at your request, it
relentlessly digs up information wherever it’s hiding.
On the Internet or deep inside your hard disk. To
find anything on the Internet, all you have to do is ask in plain English.
Sherlock springs into action, unleashing a cadre of search engines simultaneously.
In seconds, the results begin to stream onto your screen – a list of web pages, ranked by
relevance, with summaries attached. Simply click a listing and Sherlock takes you directly
to that web page. If you’re looking for something on your hard disk, Sherlock
searches by content as well as title. So you can dig up files even if you can only
remember a word or phrase. Having Sherlock is like having a tenacious detective on
call 24 hours a day. Without the extravagant retainer.
1. Enter your request.
Looking for specific information? Need some answers fast? Sherlock
is smart enough to understand the most advanced search language on earth: English.
There’s no need to bother with symbols or quotation marks. Simply
enter a key word or phrase – Sherlock takes your cue and instantly springs
into hot pursuit.
2. Sherlock searches for clues.
At Sherlock’s command are some of the world’s most powerful Internet search
engines, all working simultaneously. You don’t even have to open your
web browser – just a single click sends Sherlock into action. And in about
the time it took you to read the last sentence, the results start pouring
onto your desktop.
3. Sherlock reports back.
Sherlock is meticulous. As your search results begin to come in, they’re organized
in a tidy list – dynamically sorted by relevance. And every item is just
a doubleclick away. If the item is on a list of web pages, for example, Sherlock will
open your browser and take you there posthaste. If the item is on a list of documents in
your computer, Sherlock will, at your request, either summarize it or open it.
Case closed.

Inside every PowerPC Mac, there’s a new Mac waiting to burst out.
[Mac OS 8.5 screenshot]
Mac OS 8.5 puts a powerful new Mac inside the Macintosh you already own. So
almost all of your applications will run better. You’ll see improvements in
the things you do every day, from scrolling and printing to searching, copying
and e-mailing.
[Windows NT Workstation box]
Cut down on the foot-tapping and finger-drumming while you wait for your
gargantuan files to copy across the network. With Mac OS 8.5, network copying is
twice as fast as Mac OS 8.1 and about 20%faster than Windows NT.*
[AppleScript logo]
AppleScript® is now fully native and optimized for the
PowerPC processor – running scripts up to five times
faster than before. You can script all kinds of new things,
including printing, Sherlock. ColorSync® and network
configuration. You can even attach a script to a folder,
so dropping a document onto a folder automatically does your work for you.
[TrueType letter A]
Mac OS 8.5 supports anti-aliasing for TrueType® fonts, which smoothes
the “jaggies” that sometimes appear along the edges of font
characters. A textbook example of great-looking text.
[Date/Time Preferences icon]
Never set your clock again. Mac OS 8.5 will automatically synchronize your
Macintosh over the Internet with the world’s most accurate timepieces. Heck,
it will even automatically adjust your Mac’s clock for daylight saving time
to keep you in sync with the world.
[QuickTime icon]
Mac OS 8.5 comes complete with the gold standard of multimedia: QuickTime® 3. In
fact, we’ve even included the upgrade to QuickTime 3 Pro (a $29.95 value), so you
can do cool things like save and edit the video images you download from the web.
[EarthLink logo]
To get you started on the Internet quickly, Mac OS 8.5 comes complete with 30 days
of free access via EarthLink (and an easy way to sign up). It also includes both
Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator™ for browsing and
Outlook Express for access to e-mail and newsgroups.
[Application Switcher screenshot]
The answer to the age-old question, “Where am I?” Mac OS 8.5 makes
it easy to tell which application is active, displaying both the icon and the
application name in the menu bar. You can even tear off the Application Switcher and
place it anywhere on the desktop for one-click access to all your running apps.
[scrollbar screenshot]
Introducing Smart Scrolling. Now, in any Finder™ window, just a glance at
the scroll bar “thumb” tells you what portion of the window contents
you’re currently viewing. (Coming soon to your favorite applications as
well.) Plus, you can position the scroll arrows next to each other, saving lots
of extra mouse movements when you scroll up and down.
[ColorSync logo]
To keep colors from getting lost in translation from scanner (or digital camera)
to screen to paper to web, ColorSync is the undisputed standard, Mac OS 8.5
has the latest version, so you’ll be showing your true colors every step
of the way.
[printer icon]
Now you can rush things into print. Just drag and drop any graphics file – JPEG,
EPS, PICT or PostScript™ – onto a desktop printer icon and let the
printing begin. No application launching. No wasted time.
[Mac OS installation splash]
Perform a brain transplant on your Mac in less than 15 minutes.**
Installing Mac OS 8.5 is as easy as clicking the install icon. You can create scripts
to perform identical installations on many machines, or use Apple® Network
Assistant to install Mac OS 8.5 on remote Macs from the comfort of your desk.
[www.apple.com icon]
If you think turning documents and applications into “aliases” was a
great time saver, wait until you try it with URLs, web links and e-mail addresses.
Drag any of these things to the desktop and you’ll create an alias – ready
to whisk you to a web site or open a pre-addressed e-mail message.
