Just for fun, assuming what I've heard is true, I decided this morning to write a new business plan for Power Computing.

Hedy Lamarr is a distant relative of mine.

Austin American-Statesman: Power backs down again.

Macinsearch.com -- Search every word on over 10,000 Macintosh web sites.

One of Power Computing's contributions to the Mac community: Concise informative explanations of mysterious concepts such as RAM, AppleTalk and SCSI.

A revolutionary software design idea: Help systems should work like search engines such as Excite or Infoseek. I'm using MSIE 4.0 on Windows. I want to know how to clear its cache. I fumble around the UI. Instead I'd like to ask the program what it knows about its cache. I know it's got one!

Please re-read Henry Norr's MacWEEK column from last week. Apple still has a unique advantage, they make both hardware and an OS. Even the Mac cloners can't do that. Even Microsoft. The clone controversy masks much deeper problems at Apple.

SJ Merc: Apple turns the screws on clone buyers.
