1999
- Mac user for a month, part 1, Eric DeStefano, Mac Metamorphosis. Eric prepares for one month PC-free and Mac-only.
- What can I do with a Mac Plus or SE?, Manuel Mejia, Mac Daniel. "There are still many people who need to do a letter to home or other places, and the older Macs are great for doing this."

- The dying art of plain text email, Manuel Mejia Jr, Triassic Mac. Two types of email can make life very difficult for those with ancient Macs, other vintage hardware, and Unix shell accounts.
- How to land the job you want, Steve Watkins, The Practical Mac. Practical advice for those who want to find a job in the information technology field.
- Beleaguered IDG bans Mac maker from Macworld, Jeff Adkins, The Lite Side. Boston wins three year contract for Macworld Expo, but now Apple doesn't want to come. Huh?
- Small changes at Low End Mac, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Two changes in the way we use links on Low End Mac, and one that has nothing to do with site design.
2003

- The new Mac value equation, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. How the new iBook G4 models and reduced price eMacs impact Mac values across the line.

2007
- The future of G4 iBooks in the Age of Leopard, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Almost all of the G4 iBooks are supported by Mac OS X 10.5, but 4200 rpm drives could be a real bottleneck.
- How Microsoft can turn Vista lemons into lemonade, John Carlson, The Lite Side. How Microsoft could profit by no longer allowing manufacturers to sell new PCs with Windows XP installed.
- G4 iMac 'not half anything', LEM design comments, and more on Macs not supported by Leopard, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Mailbag. The dual 800 MHz Power Mac may be supported, Apple is (or isn't) right to draw the line at 867 MHz, and an LC III that won't work with a PC display.
