    successful leap to bridge two disparate hardware platforms. Older Macs
    run Motorola's 680х0 CISK line, which is running out of steam; the Power
    Macs run existing 680х0-based applications yet provide Power PC
    performance, a combination that sold over a million systems in a year.


      •IBM ThinkPad 701 С
      It is not often anymore that a new computer inspires gee-whiz sentiment, but
IBM's Butterfly subnotebook does, with its marvelous expanding keyboard. The 701
C's two-part keyboard solves the last major piece in the puzzle of building of usable
subnotebook; how to provide comfortable touch – typing.
      With a full–size keyboard and a 10,4–inch screen , the 4,5 pound 70ic
compares favorably with full–size note books. Battery life is good , too.


      The Development of Computers in Russia and the Former USSR

        The government and the authorities had paid serious attention to the
development of the computer industry right after the Second World War. The leading
bodies considered this task to be one of the principal for the national economy.
        Up to the beginning of the 1950s there were only small productive capacities
which specialized in the producing accounting and account-perforating (punching)
machines. The electronic numerical computer engineering was only arising and the
productive capacities for it were close to the naught.
        The first serious steps in the development of production base were made
initially in the late 1950s when the work on creating the first industry samples of the
electronic counting machines was finished and there were created M-20, "Ural-1",
"Minsk-1", which together with their semi-conductor successors (M-220, "Ural-11-
14", "Minsk-22" and "Minsk-32") created in the 1960s were the main ones in the
USSR until the computers of the third generation were put into the serial production,
that is until the early 1970s.
        In the 1960s the science-research and assembling base was enlarged. As the
result of this measures, all researches connected with creating and putting into the
serial production of semi-conductor electronic computing machines were almost
finished. That allowed to stop the production of the first generation machines
beginning from the 1964.
        Next decades the whole branch of the computer engineering had been created.
The important steps were undertaken to widen the productive capacities for the 3d
generation machines.
