Avoiding fatigue

mChange your seated position, stand up, or stretch whenever you start to feel tired. Frequent short breaks are helpful in reducing fatigue.

mUse a light touch when typing or using a mouse and keep your hands and fingers relaxed.

mSome computer users may develop discomfort in their hands, wrists, or arms after intensive work without breaks. If you begin to develop chronic pain or discomfort in your hands, wrists, or arms, consult a qualified health specialist.

mAllow adequate work space so that you can use your keyboard and mouse comfortably. Place papers or other items so you can view them easily while using your computer. A document stand may make reading papers more comfortable.

mEye muscles must work harder to focus on nearby objects. Occasionally focus your eyes on a distant object, and blink often while you work.

mClean your screen regularly. Keeping the screen clean helps reduce unwanted reflections.

What about electromagnetic emissions?

There has been recent public discussion of the possible health effects of prolonged exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) and very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic fields. Such fields are associated with electromagnetic sources such as television sets, electrical wiring, and some household appliances—as well as computer monitors.

Apple has reviewed scientific reports and sought the counsel of government regulatory agencies and respected health organizations. Based on the prevailing evidence and opinions, Apple believes that the electric and magnetic fields produced by computer monitors do not pose a health risk.

In response to those customers who wish to reduce their exposure to electromagnetic fields, Apple has lowered the emission levels of our products. We are also actively encouraging further scientific research so we can continue to promote the health and safety of our customers and employees.

6200CD Series, 6300CD Series specifications

The Apple 6300CD and 6200CD Series were notable additions to Apple's line of portable computers in the mid-1990s, blending compact design with functional capabilities that appealed to both personal and professional users. These series were part of Apple's PowerBook lineup, embodying the transition to more powerful and versatile portable computing.

The Apple 6300CD was recognized for its striking design that combined portability with performance. It featured a high-resolution grayscale display, offering a clear and vibrant viewing experience, which was essential for graphic design and multimedia tasks. One of the standout features was its integrated CD-ROM drive, allowing users to easily access software, music, and multimedia content, thus enhancing productivity and entertainment options.

The core of the 6300CD was the PowerPC 603 processor, clocked at 100 MHz, which provided a significant performance boost over its predecessors. Coupled with a generous amount of RAM, it handled multitasking and demanding applications with relative ease. The 6300CD also offered several connectivity options, including Ethernet, SCSI, and ADB, which made it adaptable to various networking and peripheral configurations.

On the other hand, the Apple 6200CD Series brought a balance of performance and affordability. This model also featured a PowerPC 603 processor but at a slightly lower clock speed, making it a cost-effective choice for users who did not require the highest specifications. The 6200CD was designed with a more basic but still effective color display, targeting users who needed reliable performance for everyday tasks, such as word processing, browsing, and basic graphic work.

Both series were equipped with a robust suite of software, including the classic Mac OS, enabling users to utilize a wide array of applications. The inclusion of a trackball, along with a full keyboard, contributed to user-friendly navigation and productivity, making these laptops appealing for a broad audience.

In summary, the Apple 6300CD and 6200CD Series exemplified the innovation and design ethos of Apple during the era. With their combination of solid performance, portability, and user-friendly features, these PowerBooks were well-received in the 1990s and remain a nostalgic reminder of Apple's commitment to creating powerful, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing computing solutions.
