August 5 in Low End Mac History
1998
- The tiny iMac, Dan Knight, iMac Channel. "The Tiny iMac would repackage the iMac motherboard in as small a case as reasonable, probably something with a footprint similar to the LC."
- Operating systems: Past, present, and future, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. "If Apple plays its cards right, five to ten years from now Microsoft Windows could be the #2 operating system, trying to hold any market share against a family of Unix-like operating systems."
1999
- More than an iMac to go, Paulo Rodrigues, Tangerine Fusion. The iBook has unique features, making it far more than a portable iMac.
2002
- Hard drives and drivers on PCs and Macs, Gregg Eshelman. Hardware and software differences in the way Macs and PCs, past and present, have changed as operating systems evolved and hard drives grew larger.
2003
- Steve Jobs, patron saint of hopeless causes that succeed, Jeff Adkins, The Lite Side. Steve Jobs can already be credited with at least three miracles during the past 30 years."
2005
- In-depth Mighty Mouse review, 1.35 GHz iMac G4 upgrade, 1.8 GHz Power Mac G4 upgrade, and more, Mac News Review. Also price drop on Mercury Extreme G4 upgrades, new drive holder for Power Mac G5, Samsung 16x DVD burner, and One Finger Snap right button emulator for one-button mice.
- How not to swap a hard drive, time to drop PowerBook brand, VAIO engineers to design Intel PowerBook, and more, The 'Book Review. Also back-to-school 'Books, iBook video output, USB flash drive with fingerprint security, bargain 'Books from $345 to $1,799, and more.
2008
- Setting up a Mac-centric home theater, Charles Webb, The Webb Chronicles. "...turning your Mac mini into a home theater PC is really as simple as plugging it into your HDTV and turning it on."
- 8 hour runtime realisitic with TruePower batteries for Lombard and Pismo, Charles Moore, 'Book Value. Apple's original batteries could keep you going for up to 5 hours when they were new; these high capacity replacement batteries improve that by 60%.
- I want a mobile phone, walkie-talkie, and VOIP phone in a single device, John Hatchett, Recycled Computing. Some cell phones provide two-way radio, Voice over IP is a reality, but so far nothing seems to offer all three services in one device.
2009
- Computer disaster ends happily, Alan Zisman, Zis Mac. The iMac was getting slower and slower, and Disk Utility kept trying to fix the same problems. With a new hard drive, the iMac is running as well as ever.
- Pismo worth a G4 upgrade?, what to do with old Macs, and dangers from texting and talking drivers, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. More feedback from those who love the Pismo PowerBook, whether ancient Macs have much real value, and road risks from texting and talking on cell phones.
