Low End Mac Archive
November 8 in Mac and LEM History
1999
- Mac OS 9: I think I like it!, Steve Wood, View From the Classroom. "Mac OS 9.0, is stable. Let me restate that: Mac OS 9.0 is stable!"
- Good-bye, Apple dealer, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Between The Apple Store and other mail order sources on one side and CompUSA and Sears on the other, the days of the independent dealer appear numbered.
2000
- OS X dooms Apple, Scott Atkinson, My Turn. Apple should learn from IBM's OS/2 mistakes and Microsoft's Win95 successes.
- Free Internet access for Mac users, Evan Kleiman. There are more free Internet options for Mac users than ever before.
2001
- The simplified Mac life, Kevin Webb, The Mac Webb. A computer collector culls his collection, frees a room, and simplifies family life.
- Soured on Windows, Douglas Metcalfe, My First Mac. Driven to distraction by Windows, the author decided to follow a different path and go Mac.
- The flea market Mac, Manuel Mejia, Mac Daniel. Replacing an LC, IIcx, and PowerBook with a Duo system found at a flea market.
- Astronomy software review: The Digital Universe, Jeff Adkins, Mac Lab Report. An excellent, extremely accurate program for advanced users.
2002
- Little room for improvement in new PowerBook, iBook, Adam Robert Guha, Apple Archive. A speed bump, improved graphics, lower prices, and a SuperDrive make new 'Books better than ever.
- The new 'Books, combo drive upgrade for iceBooks, keyboard protection, LapLink Everywhere, and more, The 'Book Review. Also a FireWire drive kit, a wireless card for older 'Books, a computer backpack deal, and bargain 'Books from $122 to $1,249.
2004
- Re-Porter, Marathon's FireWire, USB, and audio port extender, Jeff Adkins, Mac Lab Report. Can't reach those FireWire, USB, and audio ports on the back of your Mac? Re-Porter might be just the thing you need.
- Digital editions of classic Rolleiflex and Leica cameras, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. Are these tiny digital versions of classic film cameras cute toys or good enough for serious photography?
2005
- A big decision: Fix the old iMac or buy a Mac mini?, Ed Eubanks Jr, The Efficient Mac User. The 400 MHz iMac's transplanted hard drive had failed. Does it make more sense to drop in a new hard drive or graduate to a brand new, much faster Mac mini?
- Apple's Copland project: An OS for the common man, Tom Hormby, Orchard. Realizing that the existing Mac OS has run its course, Apple started the Copland project in March 1994 - and ended it in late 1996.
2006
- 13" MacBook Core 2. No speed boost, but MacBook now has Core 2 Duo CPU. 2 GHz models include more RAM, bigger hard drives, faster dual-layer SuperDrive, and more.
- The MacBook Core 2 value equation, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. The Core 2 Duo is about 10% more efficient, and the 2.0 GHz MacBooks get even more improvements, which improves their value.
- Cheap is as cheap does: A crappy cable cripples a capable display, Andrew J Fishkin, The Mobile Mac. Both Viewsonic monitors looked great with DVI input, but with the included VGA cables they were simply unusable.
2007
- Problems running Classic mode in Tiger, Dan Knight, Mac Daniel. After upgrading to Tiger, the old Classic installation stopped working. Where to find the pieces to get everything up to date.
- The G4 Power Mac that won't run Leopard, more OS X 10.5 success stories, and Pismo tips, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Mailbag. A dual 533 MHz Digital Audio Power Mac that refuses to boot Leopard, other unsupported Macs that do run it, and suggestions for improving a Pismo running OS X 10.5.
- NFL and NCAA widgets for iPhone, AT&T international plan for iPhone, new cases, and more, iNews Review. Also free WiFi connect software for iPhone and iPod touch, iPod car accessory of the year, Dr Pepper game for the iPhone, universal headphone adapter, and more.
