Apple Computer Co. , Ltd. announced a new product in the Macintosh Performa series on May 28th. There are four new products, Performa 5260/5270 for the home market and 5410/5420 for business use.

In addition to Internet software such as Netscape Navigator and Eudora Pro, ClarisWorks, addressing software, English-Japanese dictionary, etc. are included as standard.
