The following pages contain articles (some very old) to help you with various subjects that I am interested in at the moment. There will be articles written by me when I find the time as well as an archive of past articles. You will also find articles submitted by others and the latest upgrades available for the current MacOS, which is 8.5. If there is ever anything you would like me to research, I'll add it to my list of projects and write my findings here (again, if I can find the time).

We're open to new ideas.
Take Mac OS X Server, for example. Apple's first modern server operating system, Mac OS X Server combines the best of two worlds, offering customers the strength of UNIX and the simplicity of Macintosh. Designed expressly for Apple's design and publishing, Internet development, and education customers, it offers a reliable, high-performance server OS at an affordable price.
Wait, there's more: With the release of Mac OS X Server, Apple becomes the first major computer company to release source code for its operating system to the public. It's part of a program we call Darwin and forms the basis of our support for the Open Source movement. Learn more about Darwin at:

2. Tomb Raider Gold Is Yours--Free
That's right. We'll send you a free copy of Tomb Raider II or Tomb Raider Gold, the newest Lara Croft adventure for the Macintosh.
Just for purchasing Mac OS 8.5.
Our Mac OS 8.5 promotion began on March 5 and runs until April 30, 1999.* For more details, visit:

* Please note: This promotion is not available to education customers, who enjoy special education pricing for Mac OS 8.5.
3. Don't Blink
Not if you want to watch Adobe Photoshop or QuarkXPress perform their magic on one of our new Power Macintosh G3 computers. You may just miss the action if you do. They're that fast.
In fact, according to the recently published Pfeiffer Report, the new Power Macintosh G3 computers perform up to 290% faster than a Power Macintosh 9600/350 while both run the same routine operations in Adobe Photoshop 5.0. And the new systems run up to 329% faster while performing the same operations in QuarkXPress 4.0. Get all the speedy details at:

5. Your Next Versace Original
Could be on a Macintosh right now. After all, the fashion industry has learned that Macintosh can save time, increase productivity, and improve profitability. "From textiles to garments, footwear and even furnishing fabrics, the Mac is being used for creative work that used to be strictly manual," explain Moreno Soppelsa and Tony Stanley in their Macworld Italia article, which recently appeared on the pages of MacWEEK.com:
