@DarthAzrael 20 December 2021 more from that month

MacLife was the successor to MacAddict but in my opinion, MacAddict was the much better magazine. It was like Maximum PC but for Macs. MacLife on the other hand is just kind of...boring. But then that is really what Macs have become. From their switch to Power PC through their switch to Intel they kept things pretty interesting with design changes, operating system upgrades, etc. Since then, it seems very little has changed and the things that are changing are questionable. Is ever thinner and lighter really worth it if you have to have a dongle for everything you connect? Is the switch to the M1 over Intel really going to make things better? Is a computer shaped like a beer can really the best approach? In recent years has Mac OS really been getting better or does it just seem more bloated? And so on... This issue of MacLife comes 5 years after the last PowerPC Mac was made and all new Macs were Intel based. PowerPC was still supported but OS Support had recently been dropped as the latest OS out at the time (Snow Leopard) had dropped support for the Power PC. I still think Leopard and Snow Leopard were the peak of OS X. Features from the March 2010 issue include: Macs, Home Automation and You - An article about automating your home with your Mac and/or other apple devices. It seems that Amazon and Google have really taken over this space. Modernism Meets Its Mac - Using your Mac or iPhone for interior decorating using, for example, Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Photoshop, This Is Your Life! - A history of Photoshop as it celebrates its 20th anniversary. Version 1.0 was released in 1990 and required an 8 MHz processor, 2 MB of RAM and fit on one 3.5" floppy disk.
