Low End Mac Archive

March 1 in Low End Mac History

Feb. 29 - Mar. 2

2000

• A boy and his Mac, Glenn Dawes, My First Mac. "From 1988 to 1992, I knew nothing other than my Mac Plus."
• Politics and the Mac web, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. "I appreciate the readers who wrote to tell me they wouldn't visit Low End Mac again because of my political views."

2001

• Resources and upgrading by a weekend warrior, Matthew Urban, Matt's Mac. A serious bout with "latest and greatest syndrome."

2002

• DayStar files. The DayStar site is vanishing. We're republishing all their content by their permission.
• PowerBook upgrade deals from OWC, DVD Player Update for PowerBook G4/550 and 667, and more, Charles Moore. BlueChip price reduction, legacy Netscape archive, new cases, bargain 'Books, and more.

2004

• Pismo, Lombard, and WallStreet CPU upgrades; quiet hard drives; Panther upgrades; and more, Charles W. Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. Lots of PowerBook G3 questions and some Color Classic issues.

2005

• Mac OS X and the Blue and White G3 firmware update problem, Jeff Adkins, Mac Lab Report. "Catch-22. The firmware update requires that you be running the Classic Mac OS, and the Classic OS won't run until the firmware update is installed."
• iPods, more costly iTunes, TiVo, getting out the message, and the future of Apple, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. iPod price reductions, FireWire cable controversy, higher iTunes prices, digital video recorders, marketing the Mac mini, and growing beyond the niche.

2006

• The Intel Mac mini value equation, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. For the difference in price, the Mac mini Core Duo has it all over the Core Solo model for anyone who uses their Mac heavily.
• Installing OS X on a WallStreet using an external CD-ROM, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. You'll need a Mac OS 9.1 install CD, XPostFacto, a bootable SCSI CD-ROM, and OS X - preferably 10.3 "Panther".
