Low End Mac Archive

November 19 in Low End Mac History

Nov. 18 - Nov. 20

1999

• Screen size and resolution, Dan Knight, Online Tech Journal. Why is the iMac fuzzy at 1024 x 768? Why does a 17" monitor look unsharp at 1280 x 960?

2001

• Mac OS X: Developers and users, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Why developers and users have a very different perspective on Mac OS X.
• First person shooters: Netiquette and tactics, Korin Hasegawa-John, Mac Daniel. Online gaming etiquette and strategies for staying alive in first person shooters.
• What else were you XPecting?, Jeff Adkins, The Lite Side. "A mole at Microsoft leaked the following internal memo, apparently an in-house employee newsletter at Microsoft."
• Golf and computers, Andrew W. Hill, My Turn. How computers are sometimes like golf.
• The 'Book Review 2001.11.19, Charles Moore. 500 MHz WallStreet upgrade, mini USB hub, FireWire, laptop cases, and bargain 'Books - with a special WallStreet focus.

2002

• Frequently asked employment questions, Steve Watkins, The Practical Mac. The five most frequently asked questions by those searching for a job.
• Apple plans strategic retreat from OS 9, Jeff Adkins, The Lite Side. The plan goes way beyond simply preventing 2003 Macs from booting into Mac OS 9.

2004

• iTunes is great but still trails SoundJam, WinAmp in some areas, Adam Robert Guha, Apple Archive. Free music player software had killed off most of the competition, and that's not good for innovation.
• Dual core G5s, EyeTV for USB 2.0, SideTrack trackpad software, myPower for iPod, and more, The 'Book Review. Also Kensington's convertible mouse, O'Reilly fan books, Sony's dual-layer DVD burner, SportSuit Santa for iPod, bargain 'Books from $179 to $2,399, and more.

2007

• Options for replacing your older iPod, Adam Robert Guha, Apple Archive. Whether you've run out of space on your old iPod or want features it doesn't have, here are your options in new and used iPods.
• Mac mini value, reuse the best recycling, and more unsupported Leopard reports, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Mailbag. More protest of the Road Apple label for the Mac mini, the best form of recycling is reuse, and Mac OS X 10.5 on additional unsupported hardware.
• Classic still useful, a cooler running MacBook, Panther vs. Tiger for text editing, and more, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. Classic is far from dead, Text Edit in Tiger slower than in Panther, the case for a quieter laptop, Buffalo WiFi in Pismo, and Word files on an 800K floppy.

2008

• Every working computer is useful to someone, Allison Payne, The Budget Mac. Whether it's a PowerBook 1400, G3 iMac, or Power Mac G4, it could be all the computer someone needs.
• Leopard runs very nicely on PowerPC Macs, Simon Royal, Mac Spectrum. Some claim that Mac OS X 10.5 is so optimized for Intel Macs that it runs poorly on PowerPC hardware. That's simply not the case.
• No high definition iTunes video for you, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. The October 2008 MacBooks are preventing users from viewing some high-def iTunes content from being viewed on their external displays. Poor form!
• 3 WeatherBug options for Apple users, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. Have instant access to current local weather conditions with a Dashboard widget, iPhone app, or Firefox plugin.
