Low End Mac Archive

July 10 in Low End Mac History

July 9 - July 11

2000

• The lovable Color Classic, Adam Robert Guha, Apple Archive. "Arguably one of the best computer designs ever, only limited by its slow processor, bus speed, and 10 MB memory limit."
• Road trip reflections, Dan Knight, iBook & PowerMac Page. Family vacation provides hands-on experience with a PowerBook, Earthlink, and lots more.

2001

• Silent computing, Jonathan Ploudre, Back & Forth. Not just quiet computing - how to achieve silent computing.
• 20 minute Mac expert, Gregg Thurman, My First Mac. When I asked about training on the Mac, they said I was already an expert. They were right.
• eBay: Standing up for yourself, Andrew W. Hill, My Turn. Tips when buying on eBay.
• Review: BBEdit Lite, Dan Knight, Classic Mac Wares. A freeware text editor with amazing power and speed.

2002

• Overclocking the blue and white G3, Evan Kleiman, Mac Daniel. How to overclock the b&w G3's CPU and gain 50 to 100 MHz more performance.
• A few more thoughts on the Sleep of Death, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. Four more readers weigh in on the Mac OS 9/X Sleep of Death.
• The blacklist brouhaha, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. At least eight sites have had press passes pulled. How IDG could have avoided the whole mess.

2003

• The power of the G5 and the future of the Mac, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. The steps Apple has taken to make the whole system as powerful as possible by eliminating one bottleneck after another.
• Slogans to help keep Macs in your school, Jeff Adkins, Mac Lab Report. Resistance is not futile. Help them see the silliness of switching to Windows PCs. Make your voice heard.

2006

• Is the new edu-iMac a good value or simply too compromised?, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. The new education-only iMac is mostly the same as the consumer model, but how big an impact will the Intel graphics have on performance?
• Installing OS X 10.4 'Tiger' on DVD-challenged Macs using FireWire Target Disk Mode, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. Mac OS X ships on a single install DVD, which Apple will exchange for CDs at $10. But if you have access to a DVD-equipped Mac and a FireWire cable, you're good to go.

2008

• Hasta la Vista, hello again eMac, Charles Webb, The Webb Chronicles. After fighting system slowdowns in Vista on a new Core 2 Duo Dell for 3 months, it was time to dig out the old eMac an become productive again.
• Microsoft: Vista problems are everyone else's fault, Frank Fox, Stop the Noiz. Tired of Apple's 'Get a Mac' campaign and widespread disdain for Vista, Microsoft is developing a 'Don't Blame Vista' campaign to point the finger anywhere else.
• Debian recommended for older Macs, stunned by no G5 in Snow Leopard, and unsupported Leopard, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Mailbag. Linux on PowerBooks, Linux desktop alternatives, disappointment that Snow Leopard will be Intel only, and unsupported Leopard on a dual 800 MHz G4.
