2002

• Time to buy an iBook, Korin Hasegawa-John, My Turn. The faithful old PowerBook 2400 has given it's all. Time to replace it with a new 800 MHz iBook.

2008

• Anticipating Macworld: Nehalem, Snow Leopard, and updated desktops, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Intel's Core i7 CPU has to make it way into the next Mac Pro, nVidia GeForce graphics will drive the iMac and Mac mini, and 'Snow Leopard' will unleash the animal within.
