Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Apple has released a clutch of new Powerbook portables and slightly cut the price of its Performa Macintoshes, which are well- aimed at the market of people who just want a computer and do not want to have to fuss. The Performas have fallen in price to pounds 799 and pounds 899 and come complete with Claris Works integrated software. At those prices, you could equip yourself with a computer, modem, printer and CD-rom drive for less than pounds 1,500 in real money.
The Powerbooks are not cheap, but they are powerful and have built-in sound cards. Prices range from pounds 1897 for a mono model with 4 megabytes of main memory (ram) and a 160-megabyte hard drive, up to pounds 4,553 for one with a colour screen and built-in fax modem. All prices include VAT.
