Jan. 7 - Jan. 9

2002

Lament for a budget iMac, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. I come not to bury the classic sub-$1,000 iMac but to praise it.
Macs get the job done, Brian Miller, My First Mac. "With a Mac, I don't spend time thinking about what I'm trying to do, but thinking about what I can do."
Steve Watkins' iBook, Steve Watkins, Tools of the Trade. A look at the hardware and software that comprises Steve Watkins' tool of the trade.

2003

Big 'Book, little 'Book, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Thinking through the value of the new 17" and 12" PowerBook G4 models.
Risk and safety at Macworld, Stephen Van Esch, Mac Scope. Apple seems to have hit just the right balance between risk and safety with their new releases.
Things I really like about Jaguar, Dan Knight, 10 Forward. Independent windows, the dock, PDF screen capture, faster finds, and better browsing are positive aspects of Mac OS X.

2004

Mac user resolutions for 2004, Jeff Adkins, Mac Lab Report. Ten things Mac users might want to consider doing sometime in the new year.

2007

4 things we probably won't see from Apple at the Macworld Expo, Steve Watkins, The Practical Mac. Don't expect Apple to release a Tablet Mac, improve Mail's junk mail filter, improve Print-to-PDF control, or improve the integration of Mail, iCal, and Address Book.
One thing Mac OS X should learn from Windows, Alan Zisman, Mac2Windows. Apple's failure to merge folders in any version of the Mac OS frustrates switchers and can lose important files.
Shiira 2.0b2 browser: Neat features, but not ready for prime time, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. Shiira is a small, fast, free browser based on Safari WebKit that includes some very useful new features.

2008

Mac Pro (2008). Every model now includes quad-core CPUs at 2.8 or 3.2 GHz, Radeon 2600 standard, and Bluetooth now included.
Xserve (Quad Core). Apple's server now uses quad-core Intel Xeon CPUs at 2.8 GHz and 3.0 GHz.
This old Pismo, John Hatchett, My Turn. Tips on upgrading a used Pismo for better performance under Mac OS X.
Is DRM in Mac OS X anything to fear?, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Just because Apple has a way to incorporate digital rights management within OS X doesn't mean the company is going to follow Microsoft's example.
Lawsuits getting out of hand, G3 iMac upgrade resources, Leopard on a 400 MHz TiBook, and more, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Mailbag. Also wondering why Mac OS X 10.5 won't run on the 'Yikes!' Power Mac G4 and AltiVec just works.
