June 18 - June 20

1997

• Profiles of PB 190, 190cs posted.

2000

• Mac software not 'as pathetic as it could be', Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. Is Mac OS 9 really a terrible operating system - or Apple's most stable yet?
• Apple + Corel = A software powerhouse?, Stephen Van Esch, Mac Scope. Someone could acquire Corel for a song - why not Apple?
• Web publishing ethics, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. "Can we maintain our high standards of freedom on the truly international Web, or will we become subject to myriad local laws or United Nations legislation?"
• RumorLog, Dan Knight and Anne Onymus. An Apple-branded Palm? We don't think so. Here's why.

2001

• You hate Windows? Get a Mac, David W. Murray, My First Mac. "His advice boiled down to: 'You do not hate computers, Grasshopper. You hate Windows. Get a Mac.' With some trepidation, I did."
• Little payments, big business, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. There's big money to be made in managing a whole lot of little transactions.

2002

• Undoing years of Mac evangelism?, Stephen Van Esch, Mac Scope. Is the "Real People" campaign undermining years of Mac evangelism or a step in the right direction?
• Review: Painter 7.0, Alan Zisman. For creating original art on the Mac, Painter remains unmatched, although the OS X version is quite sluggish.
• Women in IT, Mozilla, 190/5300 repair, CRTs, and OS downgrades, Charles W. Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. The glass ceiling, problems installing Mozilla, Apple's PB 190/5300 REA, and more.

2003

• Back on the low-end TiBook, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. A defective memory module has us temporarily abandoning the eMac for the 400 MHz PowerBook G4.
• Netscape, IE Mac die in triple suicide attempt, Jeff Adkins, The Lite Side. Netscape, IE Mac, and IE Windows, all despondent over their future, made a pact to commit suicide together.

2006

• Pimping my 15" PowerBook G4, Andrew J Fishkin, The Mobile Mac. You can add a faster CPU, but the more cost-effective upgrades are more RAM, a bigger/faster hard drive, and a better SuperDrive.

2007

• Safari for Windows not a slam dunk success, Alan Zisman, Mac2Windows. Not only does Safari 3.0 beta for Windows exhibit some serious teething problems, but it doesn't look or act like a Windows app either.
• More on flash drives in notebooks, why Macs die, all of QuickTime should be free, and more, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Mailbag. Also the MacBook value equation, more on the white, Mac-only Matias Tactile Pro 2.0, and application support in Mac OS X.

2008

• What about the iPod touch?, Kev Kitchens, Kitchens Sync. With the iPhone 3G retailing at $199, what does the future hold for the $299 iPod touch?
• Falling for the Sony Alpha α200 DSLR, Charles Webb, The Webb Chronicles. "Once I picked up the α200, I was sold. It just felt perfect in my hands. It had so many features found in more expensive cameras . . . and it was such a joy to use."
• No widescreen display for me, accessing MacWrite files, Fedora Linux for G3 Macs, and more, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Mailbag. Why monitors need more height, not more width; using MacWrite files, unleashing old Macs with Linux, and using badram to work around bad RAM in LInux.
