- System 7 Tuneup Advantages
-
- Copyright 1992, Apple Computer, Inc.
-
- For all System 7 users, Apple has introduced the System 7 Tune-Up. The Tune-Up
- smooths the use of the Macintosh, especially in low-memory situations:
-
- - It eliminates the “Application prefers more memory” dialog box;
- - When launching an application, it can automatically quit other
- applications that aren’t in use;
- - If there’s not enough memory to print in the background, it automatically
- switches to foreground printing; and
- - When AppleTalk is turned off, it frees up 125K to 200K additional
- system memory.
-
- User testing shows that the Tune-Up significantly improves the experience of
- working with System 7 in low-memory situations. In addition, the Tune-Up
- speeds up printing on all printers, especially the LaserWriter and StyleWriter;
- speeds up Chooser operation on large networks; increases the speed of Finder
- file copying up to 20% for large files; and fixes known bugs with Macintosh
- File Sharing and PrintMonitor file corruption.
-
- The Tune-Up is a recommended upgrade for all System 7.0 and 7.0.1 users. It
- consists of one 800K disk and documentation--it is NOT a new set of system
- software. It can be installed easily, even over a network.
-
- All System 7-based Macintosh CPUs will begin to include the Tune-Up starting
- this quarter, as will the System 7 Personal and Group Upgrade Kits.
-
- For distribution to current System 7 users, copies of the Tune-Up disk have
- been sent to all Apple Resellers, Solutions Partners, and field personnel, and
- the disk files are posted on AppleLink and other licensed electronic bulletin
- boards. Resellers and licensed user groups are authorized to duplicate the
- Tune-Up for all Macintosh users. Copies will be mailed automatically to
- subscribers to the Apple Software Upgrade Program (ASUP).
-
- AFTER January 13, 1992, customers wanting quick and easy delivery of the
- Tune-Up software can order the disk and documentation directly from Apple for
- $10 by calling 1-800-947-5176.
