Everything is easier on a Mac. brochure (November 2001)

This brochure is a horizontal 8-panel, accordion-folded print advertisement with the title “Everything is easier on a Mac.” It is printed in full color on both sides and measures 4.375 x 5.75 inches folded. It is 35 inches wide when fully unfolded.

The front and back covers are similar and depict a Mac OS X (version 10.1) Finder with menu bar, Dock with icons, and the aqua blue default desktop wallpaper. Each panel depicts a single image along with a headline and paragraph explaining the feature. For example, the first panel shows a power button image and the text:

Getting started.
Just plug in your Mac, connect it to your phone line, and turn it on. Then let the Apple Setup Assistant guide you through the rest. It automatically registers you with Apple, sets up your Internet connection, and gets you a Mac.com email address. From the moment you take it out of the box, you’ll be up and running in less than 10 minutes.

The panels on one side include the headlines: Getting started. Sending email. Surfing the net. Instant messaging. Enjoying your photos. Sharing files. Managing your music. Listening on the go.

The panels on the other side include the headlines: Making movies. Creating DVDs. Learning. Going wireless. Adding peripherals. AppleCare.
