APPLE INKS NEW MOVIE DEAL
PowerBooks to appear in Cameron's Titanic

San Helifino, CA /DenounceNewswire/ -- February 25, 1997 -- Apple Computer announced today it has signed a major new promotional deal with 20th Century Fox, makers of director and screenwriter James Cameron's upcoming film, Titanic. The deal specifies that Apple's PowerBook notebook computers will be used by the characters of the film throughout the entire script.

Apple's computers have lately been seen in a number of feature films, most prominently "Mission: Impossible". "We feel that we were able to get our message across in 'Mission:Impossible' very well," said Gilbert Amelio, Chief Executive Officer of Apple. "Just look at our stock price since that movie came out."

"It's a sci-fi version of the Titanic story," said Jim Cameron, who appeared at Apple's press conference. "In my story, computer experts from present day travel back in time to the Titanic in order to rescue it from destruction. And of course, they bring their PowerBook 3400 computers with them."

Asked for how the PowerBooks save the day in the movie, Cameron smiled, replying that they don't. "While we're injecting some science fiction aspects into the story, we are trying to be as historically accurate as possible, and we all know what ultimately happened to the Titanic."

In a twist of fate, the movie ends with remote robotic devices recovering two PowerBook 3400 notebook computers from the dark depths of the North Atlantic, where the mighty ship went down in 1912. Salvagers are amazed to discover that the computers still work, but when they try to reboot them, they're astonished to find that up comes not the MacOS, but Windows NT, with the digitally-recorded voice from Bill Gates, saying over and over again, "A computer on every desk, and in every home, and on every ocean floor..."
