Buying a PowerBook G4, Dan

one, and how I'm configuring it.
Opinion:
Beyond the digital hub, Bryan Chaffin, The Back Page, Mac
Observer, 1/19. "Certainly a change in the way we use computers is
in the process of occurring...."
Analysis: Homebrewed
solutions on vintage Macs, Michael Gemar, Macs in Business, Mac
Edition, 1/19. "...the simplicity of the MacOS means lower
cost-of-ownership."
Advocacy: Petition
to get SuperDrives for PowerBooks, PowerBook Sours, 1/19. I'd
like to see an external FireWire SuperDrive for PowerBooks and
other FireWire-equipped Macs.
Virus: Mac users hit
by Melissa macro virus, The Register, 1/19. "The likely suspect
in this case is not Office but Outlook. Microsoft released a public
Outlook for Mac beta at MacWorld Expo last week, and we wonder
whether it's that that has provided long-infected documents with a
path to other systems."
Virus: Melissa-X
disguised as Mac doc, ZDNet, 1/18. "The virus . . .
can be spread on either a PC or a Macintosh. Like other Melissa
variants, though, only Windows PCs will send mass email copies of
the infected file."
Virus: Melissa comes to
the Mac, Macworld, 1/18. New Melissa variant can infect Macs
running Office 2001 and Word 98.
Dark Side: Windows curses fast
computers, MSNBC, 1/18 [Win98 Central]. "When further
supercharged with 800 MHZ Pentium III microprocessors, Windows 98
and Me outran the hardware at times, powering off the computer
before the hard drive's on-board drive cache could finish writing
out the buffered data."
Web: Much ado
about tables, Rob Stevenson, Simply Web, Mac OS Journal, 1/01.
Table's are probably the most useful and most used design feature

OS: A new OS X,
Stephen Beale, MacWeek, 1/16. A look at changes between the beta

Analysis:
Apple SuperDrive and iDVD, Paulo de Andrade, Digital Post
Production [Applesurf]. "Combining
the power of nonlinear editing, the affordable quality of DV and
the high-quality, low-cost delivery format of DVD . . .
should place the Mac in a very special position with video
professionals."
Opinion: SuperDrive: The gem
inside the Power Mac G4, Robert Aldridge, The G4, 1/10. "In
most computing situations, though, DVD serves little purpose, but
in walks the SuperDrive from Pioneer, and now the DVD has
purpose."
Opinion: Apple's
business strategy, Wes George, MacWeek, 1/16. "...Apple seems
to have pushed the notebook envelope to the limit in all the right
places...."
Opinion:
My problem with the titanium PowerBook, David Schultz,
Applelust, 1/15. "...the Titanium 'Book takes technological
monogamy a step too far for my tastes."
Opinion: The
PowerBook titanium's Achilles heel, Joud Kous, Right On Mac,
1/15. "...I think one critical mistake was putting a DVD drive
where a CD-RW ought to have gone."
