Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Consisting of three key parts: a network file server, local area network and a network Laser printer, The Macintosh Office was Apple's third failed attempt to enter into the business environment as a serious competitor to IBM. In January 1985 Apple announced The Macintosh Office with an ill-fated, poorly received sixty-second television commercial, dubbed Lemmings during the Super Bowl.Following the success of the Apple II personal computer, Apple first sought to enter into the lucrative professional business market with the Apple III. A high-end computer with features geared toward the business professional, it suffered from many technical problems which plagued the system during most of its production run. As a result, Apple's reputation suffered and it lost any advantage it had entering into the business market - a full year prior to the introduction of the IBM PC. Apple's second attempt was with the introduction of the revolutionary Lisa which was a high-end computer aimed at the business community, based on the graphical user interface that was to become the basis of the Macintosh.
