<div align=justify>Apple new advanced product is a line of proprietary, graphical operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Apple Computer, the latest of which is pre-loaded on all currently shipping Macintosh computers is a Mac OS X. Mac OS X is the successor to the original Mac OS, which had been Apple's primary operating system since 1984. The server edition, Mac OS X Server, is architecturally identical to its desktop counterpart but usually runs on Apple's line of Macintosh server hardware. Mac OS X Server includes workgroup management and administration software tools that provide simplified access to key network services, including a mail transfer agent, a Samba server, an LDAP server, and a domain name server. The Carbon APIs for Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X were created to permit code to be written to run natively on both systems. For the early releases of Mac OS X, the standard hardware platform supported was the full line of Macintosh computers (laptop, desktop, or server) based on PowerPC G3, G4, and G5 processors. Later versions of Mac OS X discontinued support for some older hardware. But Now Apple introduced FireWire audio interface for Garage Band; Apple is wrapping up development on a FireWire audio interface for Garage Band. Apple is developing a fire wire audio interface for Garage Band codenamed "Asteroid" or "Q97". The breakout box will include multiple audio inputs, including two XLR microphone inputs. There's speculation that it will either be a basic Airport Express-style white box or a full-fledged transport control box, but given its price, the former seems more likely. Apple may expand music inroads with new consumer oriented hardware device. The analog FireWire audio device, the first product of its recently created iPod division, will allow users to directly record audio using any Mac and Apple’s Garage Band music studio application. Apple Computer is expected to introduce a new audio interface for Garage Band users. The analog FireWire audio device, the first product of its recently created iPod division, will allow users to directly record audio using any Mac and Apple’s Garage Band music studio application. According to sources, this device will include two XLR/ TRS audio input connectors, two RCA analog output jacks, and a standard headphone jack. The device will draw power through a single FireWire 400 port and include a phantom on/off power switch. It will be capable of automatically detecting the presence of the Asteroid device and allow users to record from 2 mono channels on 2 tracks simultaneously, or through a single stereo channel. Typically referred to as a 'breakout box' in the music recording industry, the external audio device attaches to a computer and offers audio inputs and outputs for attaching instruments or other audio sources. Apple is reportedly building the device around Garage Band, its popular application for aspiring musicians.
