4/1/2000. Low End Mac has given up on Apple. They have lawyers; we don't. 'Nuff said. All you Mac-using whiners should just grow up, realize that Microsoft and Intel own the computing world, and enter the 21st century with a nice Celeron, Pentium III, or Athlon speed demon. After all, Apple is killing the OS you love, and their lawyers are driving Mac sites off the Internet faster than we can create 'em.

For all you folks who still run Mac hardware, you can run with the crowd using Virtual PC, SoftWindows, or an Orange Micro card. Why be left behind?

I'd also like to thank most of my writers for sticking with me through this difficult transition. We're also hoping to move to a new domain name as soon as we can find the right one and set up hosting.

Dan Knight, publisher, 4/1/2000
