is a science teacher, consultant, and Mac evangelist from Antioch, CA. In his classroom he has everything from a Quadra 700 to an Xserve, and they all work together nicely, thank you very much. You can have his Macs when you pry them from his cold, dead fingers.

2005 Index

• Apple vs. the US Congress, rumor mills, and DVD Jon, 04.11. Apple may seem arrogant, but the same could be said of the US Congress, Mac rumor websites, and Jon Lech Johansen. But who is in the right?
• Just because Apple doesn't list it doesn't mean your cell phone won't iSync, 03.22. The new cell phone wasn't listed on Apple's website, but connect the cable, fire up iSync, and voilà!
• Lost Classic Mac OS features revived for OS X, 03.10. Regaining tabbed folders, booting in safe mode, adding system sounds, and replacing other features lost under OS X.
• Four classic Mac OS features still missing in OS X, 03.08. "I used to be able to do certain things in OS 9, and I miss those things in OS X."
• Mac OS X and the Blue and White G3 firmware update problem, 03.01. "Catch-22. The firmware update requires that you be running the Classic Mac OS, and the Classic OS won't run until the firmware update is installed."
• Two-fingered trackpad scrolling could give Apple an excuse to build a two-button mouse, 02.03. With the scrollable trackpad, the new PowerBooks can now do something Mac users can't do with a one-button mouse. Could two-fingered scrolling be done with a two-button mouse?
• No, kids aren't born knowing how to use computers, save files, or burn CDs, 01.31. Sure, some students breathe technology, but a lot of kids need to be taught how to launch programs, where to save files, and how to copy their work to a disc.
• Macs in space (er, astronomy), 01.12. More and more astronomers are discovering the Mac. Let's hope that leads to better Mac support from manufacturers.
• The headless iMac: Once again ahead of my time, 01.04. Calls for a "headless iMac" have a long history with Mac Lab Report.
