I want to take a step back, and pose a What-If scenario for you. What if Apple released a sub-$500 Mac, but it was actually as large as the G5?

A Decade of MyMac.com – 1995 – 2005 Part 1
During the New Years celebration, many people reflect in the year past, and look ahead to the coming year with hope of a better future. 2005 will mark ten years for me as publisher of MyMac.com, and as such I will spend a few moments during the coming year to look back at the history of this site and the digital magazine that preceded it. In this first column, I look back to where it all started, 1995.

Do you know what you were doing in May 1997? I do, I was admiring this new cover for our twenty-fifth issue of My Mac Magazine, the downloadable edition. This cover was created by Alan Dingman, a friend of then regular cover artist Mike Gorman. Alan actually did two covers for us, the other I will post soon.

As the Macworld Expo comes to a close today, I thought now would be a good time to reflect back on the Apple announcements. While the Mac Mini and iPod Shuffle will deservedly get the majority of the headlines, especially from the mainstream press, I wanted to look at the other new product announcements, because for most of us, these are actually much more important than either the Mini or the Shuffle.

John Dvorak is the Jayson Blair of Computer Journalists
His latest argument, honestly, is that since the Macintosh is easier to use, it should be cheaper than a PC. Seriously, that is his argument.

Read MoreThe Cult of Mac
Book Review
The Cult of Mac is a beautiful hard cover book with a slipcover. It has color pages throughout, and the text is clean, crisp, and easy to read. Not all books are presented in such loving detail as The Cult of Mac is. It really is a nice total package.
Mac News Sites and Advertising
A Call To Arms
Changes are needed on the Mac web. Mac “News†sites continue to prostitute their sites to any PR firm. Mac vendors continue to ignore and sneer at the Mac web. Once great Mac sites are long gone, the victim of a problem most Mac users know nothing about. And nothing changes, no one cares, and the status quo is kept firmly in place. Or does it…?

Book Review
Mac OS X Power Hound is a book full of useful things that any Mac OS X user will find helpful and worth knowing. As an expert Mac user and ex-IT manager, even I learned some nifty tricks I hadn’t known about before after reading a few pages of this book.

Review
For twenty-bucks, the RoadTrip! is a great value. If it works in your vehicle, that is. It should, but my testing was inconclusive. Rating this is not easy, as there were good and bad days using the RoadTrip!, and when it worked, it worked fine. When it didn’t, it was very frustrating.
