If you plan to do primarily word prt cessing and

meet vour needs, h >th the Macintosh Classic and the
Macintosh SE 30 come with a 9-inch t measured
diagonally i black-and-white monitor built in. The screen
measures about 5 inches from tc)p to h >tt( >m, and lets

A computer needs working space—a place to hold
information while it works. This space is called
random-access memory (RAM ), or memory for short.
Menu >r\ is measured in megatyles. To explain
a complex topic in 30 words or less: the more
menu>ry your computer has. the me>re applications
you can run at the same time, and the more infor
mation your computer can deal with at once. That is.
the more memory; the more you can do with your
Macintt >sh computer.
