Apple introduces G4 model Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Apple Computer Inc. introduced what it said is the world's first desktop supercomputer, its new G4 model for professionals, in an attempt to further extend the company's technological and financial rebound. "This is the most powerful personal computer ever brought to market," Apple interim CEO Steve Jobs said Tuesday during the Seybold publishing conference.

The new computers, powered by chips made by Apple, Motorola Inc. and IBM, cost between $1,600 and $3,500 and mark Apple's continuing efforts to sell to business users such as architects, publishers and graphic designers. Jobs also unveiled a new 22-inch flat panel display monitor, dubbed the Apple Cinema Display, which together with the top G4 model will sell for $6,500 in October. The display monitor is twice as bright, twice as sharp and has three times the contrast of traditional monitors, Apple said. Software developers on hand gushed over the new machine.

"The new G4 is an unbelievable machine for creating compelling content that adds life to the web," said Rob Burgess, CEO of Macromedia. Adobe Systems CEO John Warnock said that the G4 runs his company's image editing software Photoshop significantly faster than any other platform. During the unveiling, cheered on by about 1,000 spectators, Jobs held a head-to-head race against an Intel Pentium III system, rendering a scene with Buzz Lightyear from "Toy, Jobs claimed that was more than twice as fast as the Pentium machine, which was running at a speed of 600 Mhz. Intel didn't let the thrown gauntlet go unchallenged. At about the same time, at an Intel developers conference in Palm Springs, Intel CEO Craig Barrett announced that the Pentium III processor, an enhanced version of its high-end chip, will be released in October.

Gator interrupts couple's swim Associated Press KISSIMMEE, Fla.

Deirdre Dozois and her boyfriend, Stuart Chandler, were cooling themselves off in their favorite pond behind the Jolly Time Bar early Tuesday.
