FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles Macintosh Group launches site for iMac peripherals USB4Mac.com
offers one-stop site for Mac-compatible USB information
Los Angeles — July 15, 1998 — The Los Angeles Macintosh Group (LAMG)
announced today the premiere of USB4Mac.com, a Web site dedicated to
helping Macintosh users take advantage of Universal Serial Bus (USB)
products. USB is the cross-platform connectivity standard that Apple
Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) will first adopt with its upcoming iMac, a
consumer-focused computer due on August 15.
The iMac made its Southern California debut at an LAMG meeting in June,
where it met with an enthusiastic response. As the world prepares for the
release of the iMac, the LAMG site (http://www.USB4Mac.com) will become a
valuable source for information on iMac peripherals such as floppy drives,
scanners, keyboards and printers. The group is working together with
manufacturers of these devices to provide current drivers and links to
company sites.
“We expect the iMac to have a huge impact on the Mac community,” stated
LAMG President Tom Negrino. “And iMac owners will need to know what
peripherals are compatible with the USB interface on the iMac and future
Apple machines. USB4Mac.com will be the first place for Mac users to turn
with USB questions, and to download the latest USB software.”
