ÁGr‡fica 2003!
ÁMuchas Macs para ver!
A Bite from the Apple:
En Marzo 20 y 21 fue la exposici—n de Gr‡fica 2003 en el Coliseo Roberto
Clemente. Ay’ se pudo apreciar como el mundo de gr‡ficas en Puerto Rico
depende y utiliza las computadoras Macintosh para sus trabajos. Tambien
los revendedores de Apple tuvieron la oportunidad de ense–ar las maravillosas
Macs, donde se pudo ver las PowerBook G4 de 12Ó en configuraci—n con SuperDrive
y con Combo Drive. Se demostr— los monitores de Apple de 23Ó, las iMacs
nuevas, y la PowerMac de Dual 1.42 GHz y hasta muchachas bonitas repartiendo
informaci—n de los productos Macintosh. Fue una actividad de mucha
asistencia.
Para la pr—xima reunion, si no hay atrasos, esperemos poder ver si la PowerBook
G4 de 17Ó estar‡ disponible a la vista. Hablaremos de las noticias que ha
sucedido dentro del mundo de Macintosh (ej. CreateÕ, PowerPC 970, Mac OS 10.3
ÒPantherÓ, Mac Tablet?, Al Gore, PowerBooks @ Iraq War, AppleÕs 27th
Birthday, and of course whatÕs going on on Iraq).
Nos gustar’a traer el tema de como Puerto Rico es considerado por Apple para
los productos que presentan, y si se debe de considerar como parte de los EEUU
o dejarlo como Apple Latinoamericano, donde los hardware tienen introducci—n
tard’a, y sin los software como en EEUU, y la ley de exportaci—n donde
productos con especificaciones de EEUU no pueden ser vendidos y enviados a PR
por ser considerado Apple Latinamerica! ÀQuŽ opinas?
La pr—xima reuni—n sera donde acostumbrado, en Galer’a Paseos 2do nivel en
ModŽrnica el jueves, 3 de abril de 2003 @ 7:00pm. Traigan sus Macs para compartir nuestras experiencias, dudas y
hallazgos.

Article from Mac Daily News
Today in 1976, on April 1st, Stephen Wozniak and Steven Jobs founded Apple
Computer Incorporated.
Webopedia.com states, "Throughout the history of personal computing, Apple
has been one of the most innovative influences. In fact, some analysts say that
the entire evolution of the PC can be viewed as an effort to catch up with the
Apple Macintosh. In addition to inventing new technologies, Apple also has
often been the first to bring sophisticated technologies to the personal
computer. Apple's innovations include:
- Graphical user interface (GUI). First introduced in 1983 on its Lisa
computer. Many components of the Macintosh GUI have become de facto standards
and can be found in other operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows.
- Color. The Apple II, introduced in 1977, was the first personal computer to
offer color monitors.
Built-in networking . In 1985, Apple released a new version of the Macintosh
with built-in support for networking (LocalTalk).
- Plug & play expansion. In 1987, the Mac II introduced a new expansion bus
called NuBus that made it possible to add devices and configure them entirely
with software.
- QuickTime. In 1991, Apple introduced QuickTime, a multi-platform standard for
video, sound, and other multimedia applications.
- Integrated television. In 1993, Apple released the Macintosh TV, the first
personal computer with built-in television and stereo CD.
- RISC. In 1994, Apple introduced the Power Mac, based on the PowerPC RISC
microprocessor.
- Just to name a fewÉ
Tips of the DayÉ
When It Comes To Troubleshooting, YouÕre Not Alone
One of the most amazing and
gratifying things about Mac OS X is that itÕs so stable that thereÕs just not
that much troubleshooting stuff necessary. But needless to say, thereÕs
more to troubleshooting a computer than I can fit into this page, but youÕre
not out of luck. ThatÕs because Apple has created a huge database of Macintosh
problems and their solutions (called the Apple Knowledge Base) that you can
access via their Web site at http://kbase.info.apple.com .
Getting vCards In Fast
Vcards (Virtual Business Cards)
are getting so popular that they now have an Ò industry standardÓ format, and
luckily, Address Book not only supports but makes it easy for you to enter
vCards. If youÕre e-mailed a vCard, just drag-and-drop it right into the
Address Book window and Address Book will automatically format the information
into a contact for you.
