• We're once again having WebX slowdowns. We're investigating the problems and hope to solve it soon.
  
  
• Our friends at MacCPU have finally received the famed Newer MAXpowr G3 220/110/512k Powerbase upgrade card for $699, in stock now. With the Newer 7100/8100 upgrade (210/240MHz flavors) that works in the Power 100/120 series, every Power machine ever made now has a G3 upgrade option! Hurrah!
  
  
• Today is my 22nd birthday! What I want this year is a job! Luckily, my present (from myself) is the trip to Disneyland's New Tomorrowland grand opening this Friday! Yes!

• Late updates: One good place to look for software updates for your Power machine actually happens to be Supermac's page -- they have OEM version updaters for FWB CD and Hard Disk Toolkits.
  
  
• What have your experiences been with the Power 15" monitor? If you've had them fail, or work wondefully, please write-in. We'd prefer to hear from those of you with larger installations of them.
  
  
• MacCPU has living proof that the new Newer cards work in Power 100/120's!

• Great news for Power 100/120 owners! I don't know how they did it, but Newer Technologies has gotten their MAXpowr G3 PDS cards to work in these machines! They should hopefully be shipping real soon now!

• I'm totally excited about Apple's new iMac! Heck I'd buy one as an art piece--it looks awesome! I'm a bit miffed at the lack of a floppy drive and SCSI ports, but I think consumers will gobble it up this summer!

• Accelerate your Mac! has a review of the $699 BottomLine RailGun G3 card (250/166/1MB), which is a PowerLogix OEM, though it is "uncertified" by PowerLogix, so you've been warned.
  
  
• Just a note: I'll be going to Europe in the last half of June, so PW will be dead at that time while I'm away. In a nutshell, we're doing loop from London-Paris-Lucerne-Florence-Rome-Venice-Munich-Brussels with a few added surprises along the way. If you've got suggestions on places to go or stay, let me know!

• Keep in mind that PW is becoming less and less of a news site-- occasional quality info is what I'll be aiming for. News will NOT be daily.. most likely twice a week.
