The 1997 MacAdvocate CD-ROM - Forcedperfect.net

The Apple MacAdvocate CD (part L02177A) was released spring 1997 as a promotional item. The disc contains tones of information on switching to a Mac, several Apple Computer commercials, product information and lots of other interesting items. The disc runs on both Macs and Windows PCs.

The paper case includes the line 'Runs on Macs and Windows PCs (no, that's not a misprint)'.	The back of the case gives you some information about the disc.
Here you see the (rather hard to scan) CD-ROM.	When inserted into a Mac the root folder opens automatically to this screen.
The Read Me First folder has a message stating that you should have QuickTime 2.5 and Adobe Acrobat Reader 2.1 installed to make full use of the CD.	If I recall correctly I have an issue of Mac User (or maybe Mac Addict) with the results of this contest.
The Apple Products demo is an interactive information program showing advantages to using a Mac and other information.	The intro to the Apple Products application complete with lame photos of people smiling and using Macs.
Each product line can be clicked on for more information specific to it.	Once a product line is chosen a slideshow type presentation will start providing you with information about that particular family of Macs.
Here you can see a slideshow similar to the one above detailing the advantages of PowerPC based Macintosh computers.	The intro graphic for the slides showing off the PowerPC chips used in Power Macs of the time. The chip shown is a PowerPC 601 processor made by IBM.

I work very hard on taking nice photos of all the items on this site myself. Please don't steal them.
