Tokyo, Dec. 9th 1998
Power Support, Inc., a Japanese Mac-related accessory company, announces two interesting items, for iMac and for PowerBook series respectively. These accessories have already been best sellers in the Japanese market.
<<OST switch>> "OST switch"(call it "oh-su-toh" switch) was introduced in mid November. Made with clear polycarbonate plastic, OST switch is THE reset switch for iMac. One OST switch fits nicely and easily on the I/O port panel and can cover both reset and interrupt switch. So you don't have to purchase two. You can see the pictures of OST switch at:

In Japan, the retail price of OST switch is 1000yen (about $8) and many iMac users and even iMac stores have installed it in their machines.
<<Spartac-am-us>> "Spartac-am-us"(call it "Sparta-kah-mass") has been in the Japanese market for more than seven months. Made with high quality metal sheets and precision cuttings, Spartac-am-us is a functional stand for PowerBooks and a must item for mobile users with desk works. With this accessory, a user can use his/her PowerBook just like a desktop Mac. The screen will be high enough to keep your posture correct. You can use your favorite keyboard with true numeric keys without bothering by the case of the machine. It saves a lot of desk space, too! You can see the pictures of Spartac-am-us at:

Also, a ideal companion to any Spartac-am-us, "CordCatcher", a mouse code clip can be seen at:
In Japan, the retail price of Spartac-am-us is 5800-6800yen (about $46-54). And there are not only a lot of satisfied users, but also many computer stores using Spartac-am-uses to display PowerBooks and other note PCs.
