Low End Mac Archive
January 8 in Mac and LEM History
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.

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.
2009
- Surprise, average broadband throughput is lower than maximum throughput, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. If a service is advertised as 8 Mbps maximum, it shouldn't surprise anyone that the average speed is below that number.

- Heat management for 'Books and the last Mac to run OS 9.1, Phil Herlihy, The Usefulness Equation. Tips on keeping a first-gen MacBook Air from throttling back with CoolBook, using G4FanControl with a G4 PowerBook, and the fastest Mac that can boot Mac OS 9.1.
