A+ May 1985
There's no issue of Profiles available in the Internet Archive for this month, so I'm skipping ahead to A+. Its cover story looked at Apple's new Apple II operating system ProDOS, explaining that while DOS 3.3 had been adequate for when all you had was 140 KB floppies connected to your computer, mass storage required something with subdirectories. Another article examined "The Sider," a $695 ten-megabyte hard drive. As for the Macintosh (the operating system for which still wasn't well suited to support hard disks), this issue looked at desktop publishing and just happened to make a big deal of it fitting into "Apple's Macintosh Office strategy," rather than certain later interpretations of it luckily exploiting what fragments of the Office had actually shipped. While the article did take a brief look at three desktop publishing programs (including "PageMaker from Aldus"), it seemed more impressed with the possibility of the Mac supporting the typesetting language TeX.
