Highlights
1994
1998
- Windows can't compete, Dan
Knight, iMac Musings. Drives that automatically mount on the
desktop, no need for mouse drivers, no sound card hassles, built in
networking - the Mac has it all.
2000
- Is it worth putting a G3 in an
older Mac?, Adam Robert Guha, Apple Archive. As always, it
depends, but sometimes a used Power Mac G3 is the better
value.
- AirPort beats wires, Eric
DeStefano, Mac Metamorphosis. Until now, wired networks were easier
than wireless. AirPort changed all that.
- Unsupported memory, Michel
Munger, Mac Daniel. Is it safe and smart to use "unsupported"
memory in my computer?
2004
- How iTunes lets you share your
music on a network, Evan Kleiman, Mac Happens. How iTunes Music
Sharing works and how you can use it to share your music with
others.
- Richard Hunt, low end designer and
Mac lover, Jason Walsh, The Low End Designer. Second-hand Macs
and older versions of software are the tools of the trade for this
London-based graphic designer.
- Software updates, Murphy's Law,
failure to boot, and a MacFixIt Forum rescue, Jeff Adkins, Mac
Lab Report. After installing a bunch of system updates, the Mac
couldn't complete a reboot. Here's how the problem was solved.
2005
- Bringing new life to vintage
Macs, Ted Hodges, Vintage Mac Living. Low End Mac's newest columnist
talks about his life-long love for computers and abiding passion
for vintage Macs.
- CarTV for video iPod, solar
kit for iPod, iKitty case, Sonnet iPod batteries, new wraps and
cases, and more, iPod News Review. Also rip
records straight to your iPod, recommended FireWire and USB cards,
HotRecorder for Media lets iPod play Yahoo! Music content, and
more.
- Blips in Intel's roadmap,
dual-core Xeon, PA Semi's dual-core PowerPC for laptops, and
more, The Macintel Report. Blips in Intel's
dual-core plans, dual-core Xeon for 4-way and higher systems,
Macworld UK readers relaxed about Intel switch, new dual-core
PowerPC perfect for laptops, and Apple's switch won't change IBM's
PowerPC plans.
2006
- 10 years on AOL: Feast and
famine, Tommy Thomas, Welcome to Macintosh. America Online
offered a sense of community something as big as the Internet
simply can't provide.
- Old Power Macs and SATA not a
marriage made in heaven, Nathan Thompson, Embracing
Obsolescence. The PCI SATA card said blue & white G3 or newer
and Mac OS 8.6 or later, but maybe it would work in an older pre-G3
Power Mac....
- Disco brings unique features
to Mac disc burning, Cortland. Still in beta,
Disco has a gorgeous interface and brings features Mac users
haven't had before now.
