The Steve Zappe Macintosh Page

I've been using Macs since 1989. I've used virtually every type of computer (IBM mainframe, Univac, Cray, Vax, Sun SPARC, PeeCees with DOS and Windoze 3.1, '95, '98, 2000, XP) - you name it, I've tried it. But nothing satisfies like the Macintosh!

Here are some of the places I recommend for Mac info:

• Apple Computer, Inc. - Apple continues to foster envy, with ubiquitous iPod line, the radical iMac and MacBook, and gigaflop speeds with the Mac Pro. However things turn out for Apple, their web site is cool, their technology is insanely great, and Mac OS X is years ahead of Windows XP. It's been a bumpy ride, but I'm holding on to my stock (just compare it to Microsoft)!

• Santa Fe Macintosh User Group - this is our official SFMUG web site, and you're welcome to come to any of our meetings if you're in the area. If you're not in Santa Fe, then find a Mac User Group near you.
• Mac News - catch up on the latest breaking news at MacSurfer's Headline News, MacCentral Online, Mac Observer, Macintosh News Network, or Low End Mac.
• Online E-zines - check out Macworld, MacAddict, Mac Home Journal, Mac Design Online, and TidBITS.
• Shareware - the applications that give the Mac it's personality. Get the latest from Apple Software Updates, CNET's Download.com, Shareware.com, VersionTracker, or the HyperArchive.
• Shopping - get your Mac fix at the Apple Store, Small Dog Electronics, Deal-Mac, and the Macintosh User Group Store (password required), or compare prices using NexTag, PriceGrabber, or Shopping.com.

• The Woz - Apple co-founder and philanthropist Steve Wozniak has his own page, and answers your burning questions via e-mail!
• RAM Prices - DealRam has a great way to search and sort to find the best deals on RAM.
• Emulators - if you're stuck using a PC at work, check out some of the various Macintosh emulators at the Macintosh Emulation Station, or go to individual pages from Emulators Inc. (SoftMac 2000, Fusion), ARDI (Executor), Christian Bauer (Basilisk II), and vMac.
