At Ease

At Ease

At Ease was an alternative to the Macintosh desktop developed by Apple Computer in the early 1990s for the classic Mac OS. It provided a simple environment for new Macintosh users and young children to help them to work without supervision. At Ease replaces the Finder desktop, providing a simple tabbed panel-oriented graphical user interface in which applications and documents are represented by icons on large buttons. Aside from its security features, its interface and basic functionality is very similar to the Packard Bell Navigator.

Ease (sewing)

In sewing and patternmaking, ease is the amount of room a garment allows the wearer beyond the measurements of their body. There are two types of ease, wearing ease and design ease. Wearing ease is the amount of room added so that one can engage in daily activities, such as sitting or moving. According to one source, wearing ease is 2 1/2" at the bust, 1" as the waist, and 3" at the hip. A second source notes that ready to wear ease is 2" at the bust, 1" at the waist, and 2" through the hips. Design, or fashion, ease is connected with a designer creating a particular look, and extends beyond wearing ease. The amount of ease allowance leads to specific categories: close-fitting, fitted, semi-fitted, loose-fitting, and very loose-fitting.
