November 4 in Low End Mac History

Nov. 3 - Nov. 5

1999

• Mac user for a month #2, Eric DeStefano, Mac Metamorphosis. Despite not receiving his used 7200/120, Eric is going 100% Macintosh on a six-year-old Quadra 605.
• Home Page lives!, Steve Wood, View From the Classroom. It does work with OS 9.
• 'I' in iMac for inferior?, Evan Kleiman, Mac Happens. "...after installing Mac OS 9 on your iMac, you'll feel inferior to your little computer."

2002

• Why don't all Macs come with RAID?, Robert Crane, My Turn. RAID 1 automatically backs up data on the fly, makes recovery from crashes easier, and costs very little to add to today's computers.
• PowerBook G4 takes wing, Anne Onymus, Rumor Mill. Apple's hush-hush "WingBook" project almost ready to leave the nest.
• The free speech letters, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. Thoughts on free speech, tolerance, political correctness, Christianity, morality, gun rights, and much more.

2005

• Aluminum: Fine for Power Macs, but not so hot for PowerBooks, Adam Robert Guha, Apple Archive. Plastic iBooks and Windows PCs just don't show wear like Apple's metal-clad PowerBooks.
• New 'Books a bit faster, fixing broken a power tip, tiny SimpleDrive Mini, I-Sight illuminator, and more, The 'Book Review. Also Omni work-in armored laptop sleeve, intelligent battery charger/conditioner, DDR2 RAM for newest PowerBooks, bargain 'Books from $185 to $1,799, and more.
• 2 GB and ECC RAM for newest Macs, Das Keyboard, one mile wireless for iMac G5, and more, Mac News Review. Also the merits of partitioning your hard drive, Service USB allows control of many real-world devices, and One Finger Snap software.

2008

• Apple strikes back at 'I'm a PC' campaign, Frank Fox, Stop the Noiz. Apple's latest ads remind Microsoft that it could have fixed Vista instead of spending $300 million promoting a flawed product.
• Windows Mobile, the first sign of Microsoft's retreat?, Tim Nash, Taking Back the Market. Windows Mobile has fallen behind the iPhone and Blackberry, version 7 has been delayed, and Vista's failings are giving Windows users a reason to consider alternatives.
