MacAddict is now known as MacLife : <http://www.maclife.com/> a much more staid magazine. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacAddict> Back in the dark days of the No-Jobs-in-charge-sian Interregnum in the mid 90's, they were a true voice in the wilderness for us dedicated MacHeads, irreverent, snarky and they had a cd loaded with goodies in every issue. Back when MacUser got swallowed by MacWorld, who took all the fun out of it, and started running articles like "How to hide your shameful past as a Mac user and Embrace your new Windows Overlords", MA kept the spark alive. Sample of the first issue's reviews, courtesy of the Wayback Machine: <http://web.archive.org/web/19990220004525/http://www.macaddict.com/reviews/> They had all the great Power Computing ads, and the same attitude. <http://www.streamstudio.com/powercomputing/campaigns.shtml> Getting everything in German will be a little tricker. Some apps will work, because they use the Macs built-in language stuff, but a lot of apps didn't back in those days. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
