Low End Mac Archive
January 12 in Low End Mac History
1999
- G3 Pro: Good enough?, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. New blue & white G3 looks a bit gaudy, but offers lots of power.
2000
- 10 years with an SE, Matt Wolanski, My First Mac. "I got nearly ten years of use out of my Mac SE and about 5 years use out of the Performa...."
- PowerBook 1400, a good buy, Low End Mac. This solid performer even has a G3 upgrade option.
- iReview reviewed, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. "Maybe I shouldn't be disappointed that Low End Mac didn't make the cut at iReview. I'm in very good company."
2002
- Is OS X the unknown OS?, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Our server logs don't list any visitors using Mac OS X - is it falling under "OS unknown"? If so....
2005
- Macs in space (er, astronomy), Jeff Adkins, Mac Lab Report. More and more astronomers are discovering the Mac. Let's hope that leads to better Mac support from manufacturers.
- The 'overpriced' Mac in 1989, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Were the Macintosh SE/30, IIcx, IIci, and Portable overpriced in comparison to the PCs of 1989?
2006
- Four times the power makes the MacBook Pro 'totally lustworthy', Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Apple claims the MacBook Pro is four times as powerful at the PowerBook G4. Then add iSight, Front Row, and a remote control, and it's another winner for Apple.
- iPod-ready Levis, Who's Townshend on hearing loss, iPod film festival, Wurlitzer dock, and more, iPod News Review. Also newest Motorola ROKR, free shipping from PodShop, lots of new iPod accessories, iPDA software, and more.
2007
- Taking the 'Mac' out of the Macworld Expo, Tommy Thomas, Welcome to Macintosh. Apple TV, iPhone, the iTunes Store, 802.11n AirPort - but where's the Mac?
- Apple TV aimed at the high end, not the mass market, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. For most TV watchers, TiVo or a DVD recorder makes a lot more sense than Apple TV.
- Modbook steals show, 4.5 million MacBooks in 2007, wireless mouse for women, and more, The 'Book Review. Also LED backlighting coming to notebooks, SanDisk's 32 GB flash drive, firmware update fixed MacBook shutdown, N1 Wireless from Belkin, bargain 'Books from $209 to $1,999, and more.
- Don't mistreat your Mac, new AirPort Extreme 5x as fast with double range, quad-core Xeons, and more, Mac News Review. Also Macs crowding out Linux in the workplace, Mopar expands iPod integration, first terabyte hard drive, Nisus Writer Pro announced, and more.
2008
- 2 compact portable USB 2.0 hubs, Charles Moore, 'Book Value. Compact hubs from Targus and Proporta make a great complement to your notebook computer. Each accepts a third-party AC adapter to provide bus power.
- The road ahead: Snow Leopard, Windows 7, and Mac OS X 10.7, Simon Royal, Mac Spectrum. With 'Snow Leopard' expected to be a minor upgrade to 'Leopard', don't expect significant changes until Mac OSX 10.7, which should arrive a bit after Windows 7.
2010
- 3G wireless: The next iPod touch and the Apple iSlate, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Don't expect me-too hardware from Apple. The tablet and next generation iTouch are bound to include 3G wireless, but beyond that, expect surprises.
- SANE Plus Snac: An OS X scanning solution for unsupported scanners, John Hatchett, Recycled Computing. If the manufacturer of your scanner doesn't have drivers for your current version of Mac OS X, these freeware programs might be the solution.
- Weather bombs, wireless Internet, and the importance of dialup access, Charles Moore, 'Book Value. Wireless broadband is a wonderful thing, but what happens when the local tower loses power? Dialup to the rescue.
2011
- My latest Pismo Adventure: Bad RAM, Charles Moore, 'Book Value. After ten years of mostly faithful service, the Pismo was running hot and then wouldn't wake from sleep due to bad memory.
- CDMA iPhone 4 opens new markets for Apple, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. It's not just for Verizon, the top US wirleess carrier. Other CDMA carriers around the world can now embrace the iPhone as well.
2012
- 10 Reasons iPhone Users Should Like Android, Frank Fox, Stop the Noiz. Android is good for Apple, because good competition creates better products and more innovation.
- $4 iPhone 3G/3GS Case Is a Winner, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Reviews. Why spend $20 or more on a case for your iPhone 3G or 3GS? This $4 case could be just what you need.
