Iomega FotoShow Iomega. The Iomega FotoShow Digital Image Center displays digital photos in JPEG format on a TV, so you can edit, organize, enhance, and share digital photos without needing a personal computer. A somewhat wacky concept, but it does have a practical side. It seconds as a 250 MB Zip drive, so you can connect the FotoShow to your Mac via a USB cable to back up and store any type of file onto Zip 250 or 100 MB disks. FotoShow is tiny enough to fit in an entertainment center or on top of a TV on its supplied stand, and it comes with a remote control so you can sit back and relax while you create.

Kensington K64210 Turbo Mouse Trackball (MAC) Computer users always welcome peripherals that make their work both speedy and more enjoyable. Kensington's TurboMouse does just that. Gone are the days of the mouse pad and the inconvenience of repositioning your mouse after you've rolled it off your desk. The TurboMouse inverts the design of the standard mouse and adds a few more welcome features to boot.

Macally iMouse Jr. USB Mouse For those who have had it with the touch pads on their iBooks and PowerBooks, a mouse is finally available. The Macally iMouse Jr. has all the capabilities of a full-size mouse but has been scaled down for easy transport. Just plug it into the USB port on your Mac and get to work. The cord is extra long so you can maneuver better if you're in a tight place. For example, the mouse glides smoothly against a denim-clad leg while sitting scrunched up at a small table with a cup of coffee and laptop.

Macally iSweet Net USB Mouse So you're a Mac loyalist but you kind of envy the two-button capabilities of the mice made by the competition. What to do? Macally has stepped up to the plate with this USB programmable Internet mouse made specifically for the Mac. Not only does it have two buttons but it also features a scroll wheel in the middle.
The iSweet Net mouse is compatible with Mac OS 8.6 and higher, so you'll need to update if you're using anything older. Included in the package is a CD with the software you'll need.

Microsoft Office for Macintosh 2001

Word 98 Special Edition for The iMac and iBook Only Microsoft Office is an incredibly popular productivity suite, but many home users have a far greater need for a word processor than they do for a spreadsheet program or presentation software. It's for that reason Microsoft has released this version of Word 98, a special edition for iMac and iBook owners. Layout tools (page borders, font effects, automatic formatting) and proofing tools (automatic correction of typos, spell and grammar checker, and a contextual thesaurus) are matched with Wizards that guide you through typical document creation and a helpful Office Assistant that you can query in plain English. Far from overwhelming, the result is an extremely flexible word processor that strives to make it as easy as possible for your work to look good.


Virtual PC 4.0 with Windows 98 Connectix. Puts a Windows 98 PC into your G3 or G4.
