Welcome to the second installment of MacAddict’s exclusive serialization of David Pogue’s hit technothriller, “HARD DRIVE!” 

The New York Times called it “splendid; a notable book of the year — recommended reading.” But don’t take their word for it: each issue of the MacAddict CD will include another installment of this all-too-possible tale of a software time bomb ... and the one Macintosh programmer who can prevent a national computer-systems meltdown.
