"Interview With The Vampire" Sneak Previews Available on CompuServe Today

Entertainment Drive First to Showcase QuickTime 2.0 for Windows

CUPERTINO, California--November 9, 1994--In the first public use of Apple
QuickTime 2.0 for Windows, Entertainment Drive and Apple Computer, Inc.
today announced that QuickTime-based scenes from Geffen Pictures'
soon-to-be-released movie "Interview With The Vampire," distributed by
Warner Bros., are now available for downloading from Entertainment Drive
on the CompuServe Information Service. Entertainment Drive, named "One of
the 12 Great Online Areas" by Compute Magazine, is one of the
fastest-growing forums on CompuServe. Apple's QuickTime is the
industry-standard multimedia software that makes it possible for users to
view and edit video, music, text, animation and other dynamic information
on their computers.

"Interview With The Vampire" is the highly anticipated film version of the
first volume of Anne Rice's celebrated "Vampire Chronicles," and stars Tom
Cruise, Brad Pitt, Stephen Rea, Antonio Banderas and Christian Slater.
Critics are calling the movie, "A mesmerizing, passionate, seductive
film... 'Vampire' belongs at the top of your must-see list."

"Entertainment Drive members will be first to see actual scenes from this
Fall's hottest film in this amazing new video format," said Michael
Bolanos, president and executive producer of Entertainment Drive and
entertainment consultant to CompuServe. "Without QuickTime, delivering
movie clips to both Macintosh and Windows users would hardly be possible.
QuickTime enables us to efficiently distribute one highly compressed
version of our clips to both Macintosh and Windows users, saving us
valuable real estate online. Especially with version 2.0, the QuickTime
video quality is superb, and that is very important to users and to the
entertainment industry."

Entertainment Drive has incorporated QuickTime 2.0 into the GO EDRIVE Movie
Viewer, a click-and-play Windows application that allows users to watch
QuickTime movies on PCs by downloading only one file. CompuServe members
can type GO VIEWER to download the program for a special price of $9.95,
with no connect charges.

Eight never-before-seen scenes from and about "Interview With The Vampire"
will be downloadable at various frame speeds and sizes, with some clips
demonstrating the higher quality and resolution of QuickTime 2.0.
Entertainment Drive has already unveiled video and audio highlights from
Warner Bros.' "Natural Born Killers," Disney's "The Lion King," New Line
Cinema's "The Mask," All American Television's "Baywatch," and many other
film and TV scenes using QuickTime 1.1. These clips will also be viewable
with QuickTime 2.0, and all future EDRIVE releases will use the new
software. Downloading and viewing movie clips from Entertainment Drive has
been extremely popular, and Entertainment Drive, which was launched in
March of this year, already has nearly 100,000 members on CompuServe.

"Leading-edge entertainment content, such as 'Interview With The Vampire,'
has helped QuickTime to become the de facto standard for multimedia," said
Duncan Kennedy, product line manager of Apple's QuickTime Products Group.
"It is exciting services, such as Entertainment Drive, that will bring
multimedia and online services into the mainstream of pop culture."

"Entertainment Drive is an exciting new avenue for entertainment
information," commented Don Buckley, Warner Bros.' vice president of
advertising and publicity. "The potential of this means of delivery, even
in its infancy, is limitless, thanks to technologies like Apple's
QuickTime."
