     Paul Statt, Senior Editor, InCider/A+ Magazine.
 
Apple II's, Apple IIGS, and Macintoshes are facts of life for many of
us - particularly classroom teachers who need to use all the
computers they have, not just the latest and greatest.  Do you need
to say good-bye to the Apple II when you get a new Mac?  Absolutely
not!  We'll explore the ways that Apple's and Macs can share the same
peripherals, such as keyboards, mice, printers, and CD-ROM drives.
We'll discuss file sharing and which applications make it especially
easy to pass work between Macintoshes and Apple II's.  And we'll
demonstrate how smoothly the new Macintosh LCII makes the move from
II to Mac and back.

     Charles Altschul, Director of Education, Center for Creative

Digital Tools for communications have been available for decades but
technological breakthroughs have made these tools available to a much
wider audience.  We are now in an era where media which were once
independent are easily combined and manipulated to allow ideas to be
communicated in new ways.  The Kodak Center for Creative Imaging was
founded to provide an environment where these technologies can
empower creativity and extend imagination, opening the way from idea
to expression, from vision to art.  The Center seeks original
thinkers - from photographers to graphic designers, from architects
to computer musicians - individuals looking to the far horizons of
communications in our time.
