MacSense June 1996. Volume 3, Issue 4.
It finally happened! IBM has licensed the Mac OS! June's MacSense reveals the
details of the monumental deal. Also in this issue: Apple's latest introductions,
including "speed bumped" Power Macs and new upgrades. Not to be outdone, both
Power Computing and DayStar have debuted new Mac clonesãwith Power's new
PowerTower clocking in at 180MHz!
MacSense is a little on the heavy side this month! In addition to our regular
content, we've include two new QuickCharts to give you a side-by-side comparison
of Apple's latest products. Also in June's issue: Did you know that your
PowerBook 5300 can talk AND hear? See AppleBits for the nitty gritty. In Brave
New World, John N. talks offers a few choice words about commercial software.
Meanwhile, over in Cerebreality, Greg Kramer ponders how very virtual virtual
reality actually is. The Game Warden has stopped whining long enough to write up
a column entitled "Happy Happy Fun Day," and, finally, Jim Hines weighs in this
month with an article exploring the mystique of Apple's "1984" television
commercial.
All MacSense readers who use Netscape will be pleased to see our new "Launch URL"
feature. In AppleBits, QuickBits and NetBits, you'll now find a URL-launching
button adjacent to stories which include URLs. To use, simply make sure your
Netscape application is open and connected to the Internet. Then, from within
MacSense, click on the desired URL button.
