• Is Apple's insider selling market driven?, Tim Nash, Taking Back the Market. Why are so many Apple executives unloading AAPL stock these days?

2004

2006

• MacBook glossy screen problems, Classic option for Intel Macs, and more on replacing Home Page, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Mailbag. Reader unconvinced a glossy laptop screen is a good idea, SheepShaver PowerPC emulator puts Classic on Macintel, more thoughts on WYSIWYG HTML editors, and eMac CPU upgrade possibilities.
• X11: Your window for using Unix apps on the Mac, Leaman Crews, Plays Well with Others. Mac OS X is a Unix variant. X11 is the tool that lets you access Unix applications using a graphical interface with mouse support.

2007

• World's fastest G3, Core Image unsupported in most G4 Macs, and other thoughts on OS X 10.5, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Mailbag. Where a 1.1 GHz G3 really rocks, too many G3 Macs in use to drop them with Leopard, and whether Core Image might be the technology that determines which Macs can't run OS X 10.5.
