It's July! And here in the northern hemisphere, it's begun to get hot. So too is this month's MacSense! In July's issue, you'll learn about Apple's planned limited edition 20th anniversary Macintosh, MacOS 7.5.3 Revision 2 for PowerBooks and PCI Macs, the new LaserWriter 12/640PS and RAM Doubler 1.6.2a. Did you know about ResEdit 3, LaserWriter 8.4 or Netscape 4? Read all about it in our new occasional section entitled "In the Pipeline!" Also in this issue: Jim Hines considers the prevalence of URLs in advertising; The Game Warden speaks lovingly of E3; Cerebreality considers the demise of Gen X and the subsequent generational title; and Chris McVeigh pops the glossy media bubble surrounding the Pippin platform.
MacSense: The Macintosh® E-Zine is a FREE monthly electronic magazine which focuses on the mainstream Macintosh computer market. Each issue of MacSense details the most significant news stories in the world of Macintosh computing and explores how these new developments will affect every-day Mac users. Packed with vibrant color graphics and in depth product reviews, it is the founding goal of MacSense to shed light on a rapidly evolving industry. Moreover, because MacSense is created and distributed electronically, it is the most environmentally friendly method of publishing. We hope you enjoy this issue!
The attached file is a Stuffit archive. You will need Stuffit Expander or another Stuffit compression utility to extract it.
The color edition of MacSense requires a Macintosh with at least 16 shades of grey. For optimal viewing, we recommend 16-bit color. The black and white edition of MacSense can be viewed on any Macintosh.
