Apple's New MacBook a Winner



MacBook
Apple has replaced the venerable iBook computer --and what a replacement it is. The new MacBook --available in both White and Black plastic casing-- has a glossy 13.3" cinema aspect screen, a built-in iSight camera and the same Core Duo processors used in the new iMac and MacBook Pro line-ups. Apple's least inexpensive notebook finally allows you to do monitor spanning with an external high resolution screen and will support Apple's own 23=94 Cinema Display.

MacBook is available from the Precursor Hardware Store!



Quark 7 PPC Released


Quark 7
Quark has finally released the long awaited version QuarkXPress 7. The company's official press release is remarkably short on details. It doesn't discuss features or prices and it doesn't even mention that this release is only the PowerPC version and that the Intel version is still in public beta hoping for a release at the end of summer. Quark 7 will feature transparency, Composition Zones, and a new Job Jacket technology.

The Virtues of Safe Boot


Shift
Is Safe Boot the new "Rebuild the Desktop" Many OS 9 users swore by Rebuilding the Desktop. After all it was a simple start-up routine that could fix SOME problems. We at Precursor thought it was over-used --but that is beside the point. Mac OS X does not require Desktop Rebuild so this start-up key sequence is largely forgotten. But now there is a new start-up key sequence in town: Safe Boot. We've prepared a page on Safe Boot to help familiarize you with what it does and when it is appropriate.
