November 22 in Low End Mac History

Nov. 21 - Nov. 23

1999

• Teacher tools: Gradebooks, Steve Wood, View From the Classroom. A look at gradebook software.

2000

• Leveraging Apple design, Stephen Van Esch, Mac Scope. What if Apple though different about their unique designs and licensed them instead of suing imitators?
• The next generation, Jeff Adkins, Mac Lab Report. Upgrading the computer lab from 68k Macs to Power Macs.
• Converting a Quadra 630 into a Power Mac 5200, Jeff Adkins, Mac Lab Report. This upgrade is almost too easy.

2002

• Laptop or desktop: Which is right for you?, Adam Robert Guha, Apple Archive,. Do you need the expandability of a desktop, the portability of a 'Book, or both?
• Combo drive upgrade for Pismo and Lombard, PowerBook repairs, mini USB drives, and more, Charles W. Moore, The 'Book Review. Also Jaguar support for Magma expansion systems; fast, compact Plextor USB 2.0 CD-RW drive; WiebeTech price drops, and bargain 'Books from $299 to $2,095.

2004

• SuperDuper: Quick, easy, efficient backup for $20, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Reviews. "If you don't have a backup system in place or are unhappy with what you're currently using, give the free demo of SuperDuper a try."
• REALbasic: Cross-platform programming for the rest of us, Alan Zisman, Mac2Windows. REALbasic makes it easy to write programs on the Mac for use with Linux and Windows PCs - and vice versa.
• DigiTools Productivity Suite: Jack of many trades, master of few, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. Free word processor, image and movie viewer, font viewer, calculator, and more is a good beginning but has room to improve.

2005

• Make your own Mac video surveillance system on the cheap, Joe Rivera, Mac Fallout Shelter. All you need to create your own surveillance system is a Mac with OS 8.5 or later, a low-cost security camera, video input, and one piece of software.
• Which system software is best for my vintage Mac?, Tyler Sable, Classic Restorations. Which system software works best depends to a great extent on just which Mac you have and how much RAM is installed.
• There is no 'best browser' for the Mac, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. With so many excellent free options, why limit yourself by using only a single browser?
• The sorry state of web browsers for classic Macs, Thomas Ahart, The Productive Mac. "One thing that's hard to find these days is a good Web browser for old Macs, whether it's for 68k or PowerPC ones."
• Why we need modern browsers and email clients for vintage Macs, Ted Hodges, Vintage Mac Living. There's a lot of life in those old Macs, especially for those who can't afford newer hardware. But to be useful, we need up-to-date browsers and email clients.

2006

• Core 2 means cooler running MacBook, MacBook Core 2 'a powerhouse', MacBook Pro Core 2 really faster, and more, The 'Book Review. Also Al Jazeera chooses Apple, Quicky wireless antenna doubles range, battery recycling, high tech repairs, and bargain 'Books from $200 to $750.
• AMD rumors gain traction, 2.0 GHz G4 upgrade, JukeDock for iPod, FireWire/USB 2.0 combo drive, and more, Mac News Review. Future Macs may have AMD CPUs, MAXPower G4 upgrades hit 2 GHz, Apricorn's new combo hard drive, colorful JukeDock, and more.
