I’m cleaning. I’ve been cleaning out my old Macworld magazines from 1992-1996. Now I know these aren’t the oldest things around, but it’s really a trip going through the older articles. Especially interesting are the product debuts: The Newton MessagePad, the Powerbook Duos, QuickDraw GX, and oh yes, Macworld raved about the IIvx.
Ah how time flies. The PDA that was a bit too large and five years too early? The Duo docks that if in place now with FireWire and USB would be incredible for iBooks and TiBooks alike. QuickDraw GX was really striving to be Quartz, the layer just below Aqua in MacOS X.
The IIvx? Well, let’s let dead dogs lie…
I think I’ll keep one issue from each year for now. 5 copies ought to provide quite a time capsule the next time down this memory lane.
