Jan. 21 - Jan. 23

1999

The iMac ahead, Dan Knight, iMac Musings. "Each iMac is a better buy than the one before it."

2001

Should I keep my old Mac?, Charlie Ruggiero, Mac Daniel. Once you've got a newer Mac, should you keep your older one or sell it?
Review: Digest Viewer, John Allan, My Turn. If you subscribe to email lists in digest form, you may find this freeware digest manager very helpful.
Downgrading: Newer is not always better, Jeff Adkins, Mac Lab Report. Sometimes an older version of the Mac OS is a better solution for your computing needs.

2002

10 forward!, Steve Watkins, The Practical Mac. All the old commands are in different places, but forward migration shows just how rock solid Mac OS X is.
Freeware I wouldn't want to be without, Beverly Woods, Acoustic Mac. A free launcher, program switcher (both better than Apple's), and a POP mail checker for dumping spam.
Music on the Mac made easy, Eric Schwarz, The Power of Mac. How to create and move audio files between your Mac and your stereo.
Benchmarks: Power Mac G3/266. What are the best settings for virtual memory and the disk cache under Mac OS 8.1 through 9.2.2?

2003

Extreme wireless for older Macs, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Apple's AirPort isn't the only game in town. Other vendors offer PC Cards and PCI cards that give older Macs access to 802.11g "extreme" wireless networking.
Who's taking a beating, Apple or Quark?, Stephen Van Esch, Mac Scope. Quark users may postpone upgrading to new Mac waiting for an OS X version of XPress - or Quark may lose them completely to InDesign.
California vs. Kazaa, Andrew W. Hill, Aquatic Mac. Can a California court have jurisdiction over an Australian software company?

2007

Working with Macs, Ted Hodges, Vintage Mac Living. The author shares two work experiences with Macintosh computers.
What's the minimum Mac or 'Book for Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger'?, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. Today's Intel-based Macs are great with Tiger, but how old a Mac can you use and still find satisfactory performance?

2008

MacBook Air: What do you do when there's no WiFi?, John Hatchett, My Turn. Every modern PowerBook had ethernet and a modem, but how do you connect the MacBook Air when there's no WiFi service?
MacBook Air vs. ThinkPad X300, moving from MacBook to PowerBook, USB 2.0 cables, and more, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Mailbag. Also another crumbling G3 iMac, a Rev. B iMac brought back from the dead, 'fencing in' type in HTML, and Leopard on an AGP Power Mac G4.

2009

The Nvidia MacBook White value equation, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Moving the MacBook White to GeForce 9400M graphics and doubling memory while retaining FireWire and Mini DVI make this a hands-down winner.
Why Mac desktop sales are on the decline, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Apple believes that desktops are unimportant, and by not offering updated models regularly, it makes them unimportant to potential buyers.
How should The Italian Job have ended?, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. The original Italian Job had great chase scenes, lots of auto carnage, and featured a computer. How should it have ended?

2010

Laptops for Haiti, iSlate speculation, Net tablets set to take off in 2010, and more, The 'Book Review. Also Asus combines i7 and Nvidia graphics, Wi-Fire updated, external battery for MacBooks and iPhone, and more.
