Apple presents a complete, affordable productivity solution for small- and medium-sized businesses, as well as for home businesses.

This solution includes the economical yet powerful Macintosh Quadra 605 as well as over $800 in preinstalled business and productivity software.

This software includes ClarisWorks from Claris, the number-one integrated software package for Macintosh computers that includes word processing, spreadsheet, database, graphics, painting, and presentation capabilities all in one program.

Quicken from Intuit is also part of the solution. This financial software helps you organize payables and receivables and produce income statements, balance sheets, and cash-flow statements easily.

There’s Full Contact from Fit, software that helps schedule your activities and meetings as well as manage your business contacts. It even includes a word processor.

Next you’ll find Astound! from Gold Disk, which is an easy-to-use presentation program that helps you create animated and interactive presentations as well as slides and handouts using graphics, sound, and video.

You get the American Heritage Dictionary to help track down elusive words and phrases and find information fast.

There’s FileDuo from ASD, which makes backups of your files, folders, or hard disks automatically and simply on another hard drive.

You get Common Ground from No Hands Software, which makes it easy to open, read, and print formatted documents created with any Macintosh or PC-compatible computer– even if you don’t have the programs or fonts.

And Working Watermarker from Working Software is a utility program that allows you to place words or graphics in the back-ground of any document you print. It comes with a selection of predesigned samples.

The Macintosh Quadra 605 Productivity Solution contains the most afford-able Macintosh Quadra computer and just about every software tool that a small business needs. All at a combined price that just about every small business can afford.
