2000

• AppleShare IP woes, Eric DeStefano, Mac Metamorphosis. "...in the last few weeks I have had many problems with just getting AppleShare IP (ASIP) running."

2001

• Compressing movies, Matthew Urban, Matt's Mac. Why you need to compress your QuickTime movies.

2002

• Obsessed with old Macs, Jody Dugan, My Turn. The simplicity of the first Mac lead to an obsession to collect as wide a variety as possible.
• Everything is not easier on a Mac, Adam Robert Guha, Apple Archive. Sorry, Apple, but some things really are easier on Windows.
• x86? Apple has other plans!, Anne Onymus, Rumor Mill. Apple has some projects that are so far ahead of x86 it isn't funny. Some may offer 16 to 64 GHz of computing power.
• Battery Powered Portable Hard Drive, Slimmest and Lightest 16x FireWire CD-RW Drive, and More, Charles Moore. Battery powered FireWire drives, PowerBook ResQ, very portable Poma device, Fuji FinePix deal, bargain 'Books, and more.

2004

2006

• Boot Camp released, allows Intel-based Macs to boot WinXP.
• Chronically ailing Yikes! G4 cured while overclocking, Hardy Menagh, Empowered. This PCI Power Mac G4 had been acting up for years and resisted all attempts to bring stability. But when the new owner attempted to overclock it, things became clear.
• Damaged goods: A Quadra 840av brought back from the brink, Tyler Sable, Classic Restorations. The Quadra 840av motherboard somehow survived a tragic shipping fiasco, but where would it live and what would it be used for?

2007

• 8-core Mac Pro, best tech products of all time, multisession disc burning reinvented, and more, Mac News Review. Also Apple cuts Cinema Display prices, picking OS X over Linux, an in-desk iPod dock, calendar printing software, and more.
• Another sudden shutdown fix, sunshade for notebooks, Modbook sensitivity improved, and more, The 'Book Review. Also new MacBooks could constrain MLCC supply, new enclosure for SATA notebook drives, turn off backlighting with LightMe, bargain 'Books from $180 to $2,299, and more.
