The eMac is for education first and foremost. It is built according to what that market demands. Getting rid of the eMac's CRT would be horrible for the education market. Do you really think a schoolful of rowdy, sticky-fingered K-8 children woul…

I used to want to do the documentation. My original career goal was to get my BM in Composition, and write Mac documentation as a day job, and work on my career as a composer by night. I was a very good writer, and pretty good at simplifying complex…

The Macintosh Portable was lighter than the Acer. This is ridiculous, folks. And it seems like it's going to continue getting worse before it gets better. My iBook inspires a lot of envy at school. Many of my friends say they would like to ca…
