Adobe Photoshop 7.0
Image editing and paint application
by David Nagel
Without a doubt, Adobe Photoshop 7 is the most important Mac OS X release to date. As the single unifying application between all creative disciplines, its absence from the OS X application roster had prevented untold numbers of creative professionals from making the permanent switch from OS 9 to the new operating system. Now, with the release of version 7.0, all of this has changed.

Talkin' Smack: Dead & Buried
On the 'passing of OS 9'
by David Nagel

Prodigal Mac: Are We There Yet? Are We There Yet? Are We There Yet?
Almost. But if you ask me one more time, I'm gonna stop this car and come back there
by Kevin Schmitt
'Scuse me, but do you have the time? My watch reads about 11:55, and I'm not sure it's right. I could've sworn it's earlier than that. You see, Uncle Steve said that when the clock hits twelve the transition to Mac OS X would be complete, and my trusty Justice League of America wristwatch purchased back in the days when the '040 chip was about to give way to the PowerPC 601 is telling me that it's damn near twelve. Maybe my watch needs another battery, but, on the other hand, maybe it's actually correct. Maybe it is as close to twelve as it claims to be. Man, how time flies.

The Final Cut Pro Bonus
Discovering the benefits of unified technical support
by Paulo de Andrade
When you purchase a professional video editing system, you expect it to perform flawlessly. But no matter how stable a specific piece of software is, there are too many things that can go wrong in a computer-based system. Problems with drivers, extensions and hardware issues can happen completely out of the blue, turning a typical working day into a real nightmare.
