Dear Fellow Shareholder:
Our Annual Meeting is now a week away. It appears that your voting instructions
have not yet been received. For your convenience, enclosed are instructions
which enable you to vote your shares by a toll-free telephone call. If you
prefer, we have enclosed a new proxy card and postage paid envelope which you
can also use to vote. Due to the short period of time before the Meeting,
however, we strongly urge you to vote by telephone to ensure that your
instructions are received in time to be counted at the Meeting.
If you have already voted, your instructions and this letter may have crossed
in the mail. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Your vote is especially important this year since there are several
non-routine proposals on the agenda. These proposals are more fully described
in the proxy statement sent to you previously.
Your Board strongly encourages you to participate in the Annual Meeting by
voting your shares. Your vote, no matter how many or how few shares you own, is
important.
If you have any questions, or need any assistance in voting your shares please
call the company assisting us in the solicitation of proxies, Georgeson &
Company Inc., toll-free at 1-800-223-2064.
Sincerely,
APPLE COMPUTER, INC.
