November 2003

Change can be good, even when it's hard, Dan Knight, Mac Musings, 11.21. Sometimes life just gets overwhelming, but if you face down the issues, things can get better.
World's lightest laptop, Lombard SCSI Bug, MisFox restores user control of defaults in OS X, and more, Charles Moore, The 'Book Review, 11.21. Also BatteryStatsX updated, new PB G4 auto adapter, new laptop sleeves and wraps, the Squid flashlight, new laptop video chips, and bargain 'Books from $699 to $2,399.
Is Apple's $99 iPod battery replacement fee fair or a rip off?, Adam Robert Guha, Apple Archive, 11.21. Considering the size and value of older iPods, isn't it better to just buy a new one?
Ideas for truly desperate out of work programmers, Jeff Adkins, The Lite Side, 11.21. Ten ways unemployed programmers could use their skills and make a buck instead of just griping about outsourcing.
Panther lets Macs and Windows work together better, Alan Zisman, Mac2Windows, 11.21. Sharing files between OS X 10.3 and Windows users is easier than ever; so is printing to shared Windows printers.
eMac II brings Apple to the Gates of Dell, Anne Onymus, Rumor Mill, 11.21. For the first time ever, Apple will have dual processors on entry-level models.
WallStreet tales, which version of OS 9, another OS X system utility, online petitions, and more, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings, 11.18. More reflections on the WallStreet PowerBook, differences among OS 9 versions, one more OS X utility, Apple Catholic, and two petitions.
iBook G4 field report, drive replacement, 1 GB upgrade; Temperature Monitor; new iPod case; and more, Charles Moore, The 'Book Review, 11.14. Also new cases, a new wireless option for 'Books, and bargain 'Books from $470 to $2,625.
Panther, iTunes for Windows, and G5 drawing people to the Mac, Adam Robert Guha, Apple Archive, 11.14. Apple must be doing something right - more and more Windows users are asking about Macs.
First impressions of the 14" iBook G4, Dirk Pilat, Down But Not Out, 11.13. "Apple has managed to produce a machine that combines everything I want from a portable computer with appropriate processor performance for a competitive price."
Enjoyed the music appetizer? Try the OS main course, Stephen Van Esch, Mac Scope, 11.12. iPods and iTunes for Windows: Are they enough to whet the appetite of Windows users for the whole Macintosh experience?
Assault with a deadly weapun, Jeff Adkins, The Lite Side, 11.11. How one computer user nearly killed his pointy haired boss with a keyboard.
7 Mac OS X system utilities compared, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings, 11.10. So many free and shareware OS X system utilities - which ones should you try on your Mac?
Apple on white spots, Location X, Sonnet price drop, high capacity Lombard/Pismo battery, and more, Charles Moore, The 'Book Review, 11.07. Also Panther speeds up Lombard, LapCop 2.0, Coursey on new PowerBook, bargain 'Books from $470 to $2,749, and more.
Panther on slot-loading iMacs and a 12" PowerBook, Adam Robert Guha, Apple Archive, 11.07. The Finder is faster, and there are some small-but-nice improvements, but buying more RAM might be a better choice.
Apple shines after a poorly timed iBook order, Dirk Pilat, Down But Not Out, 11.06. The frustration of ordering a G3 iBook just two days before it was replaced by a G4 model.
Keynote 1.1: Worth the price?, Jeff Adkins, Mac Lab Report, 11.06. Keynote's presentations look marvelous, but some parts are clumsy and other important features are completely missing.
Smart aleck comebacks for anti-Mac comments, Jeff Adkins, The Lite Side, 11.06. Be prepared for the next time a Windows user tries to zing you for using a Mac.
Dying FireWire cables, G3/900 vs. G4/533, and low-end cross-platform wireless, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings, 11.06. FireWire cables can wear out, when a slow G4 beats a fast G3 and vice versa, and low-cost wireless networking for Macs and Windows PCs.
We're back, Dan Knight, Mac Musings, 11.06. Why Low End Mac hasn't been updated in days - and where we're going from here.
