All-in-One & One for All (11/17/97)
SceneLink
 

From the appliance look of the 9-inch-screened Classic chassis, to the lumpy-but-loveable LC 550, to the monitor-with-a-floppy look of the 5x00, and possibly even encompassing the slightly more complex (and certainly flatter) Spartacus, less interestingly known as the 20th Anniversary Macintosh, AtAT is a sucker for a standalone design. If you're a fan of the all-in-one Mac concept, don't despair; you've only got to wait until April for Apple's next in the line of self-contained "toaster-Macs." So sayeth MacOS Rumors.

The new offering, code-named "Artemis," will pack the hearty punch of a G3 processor running between 225 and 266 MHz. And reportedly, Apple will crunch all that computing goodness into a new case that's smaller, cheaper, and nicer-looking than the 5x00 series.

Unfortunately, every Mac has its achilles heel, and this one's may just be its name. When it's ready to ship, it will lose the sporty moniker "Artemis" and may assume the bland appellation, "Power Macintosh G3 Home." Yecccchh.

  • 188: Netscape Keeps Sliding (11/17/97)   Ouch... Ralph, DoJ, say what you will about Microsoft's tactics being illegal and immoral, just don't forget to add that they're also effective. Netscape's share of the browser market is down for the third quarter in a row, according to this InfoWorld article. According to Dataquest, Netscape now holds 57.6% of the pie, compared to Microsoft's 39.4%...

  • 189: Shhhh! Baywatch Is On! (11/17/97)   ...Not that popularity is everything. You know, it's funny, but just the other day we were sitting around talking about the difference between "best" and "most popular," and how often you see a stark disparity between the two, and then Dob Crabb goes and writes an article about that very concept, citing reader Barry L...

Why did you tune in to this '90s relic of a soap opera?
Nostalgia is the next best thing to feeling alive
My name is Rip Van Winkle and I just woke up; what did I miss?
I'm trying to pretend the last 20 years never happened
I mean, if it worked for Friends, why not?
I came here looking for a receptacle in which to place the cremated remains of my deceased Java applets (think about it)
