[5] G3 Power Macintosh Computers Garner Rave Reviews
Apple Power Macintosh G3 computers continue to get rave reviews. Here's a quote from "New Macintosh G3 Series Sets New Speed Standard," in the Houston Chronicle on December 14: "Apple has clearly outdone itself this time. The new G3 computers - desktop, minitower and PowerBook - are the best and fastest personal computers I've ever seen. I've had three G3 systems running here for about a month - the MaxPowr G3 upgraded 9500 I told you about last week, plus a PowerBook G3 and a Power Macintosh G3 minitower. I'd say I'm impressed, but that would be an understatement."
