The Apple Question
In this little time capsule from 1997 at the TCU.edu help desk, Steve Levering discusses the future of the Mac OS. Will it be Copland, NeXt or the lovely and talented Be OS?
It begins:
"Here's the most frequently asked question I've heard through January so far: "Hey Steve, you said Apple was going to buy Be Computers-so why did they buy NeXT instead?" The phrasing and wording varies somewhat, but the truth is that Apple surprised many people, myself included, by purchasing NeXT instead of Be."

Old Mac, New Tricks
Here's a 2001 article from Macworld on increasing the usefulness of that vintage Apple computer!
It begins:
"Remember that old Power Mac 7500 you banished to the attic when you bought your speedy new G4 last year? Granted, it's not the lightning-fast Windows killer it used to be, but that doesn't mean it's ready for the junk pile. If you find the right job for it, you can still get plenty of use out of your old Mac friend, often with only a small investment in hardware, software, or both."

Apple Pippin Lowers Cost of Computing
An article by Richard Morochove first published January 18, 1996.
It begins:
"The 1996 crop of home computers should deliver the most interesting harvest in years. Of course, there will be the usual upgrades of faster and more powerful PCs. But I also see evidence of a contrary trend to specialized, much less expensive machines."
