Review
PowerBook G4 500 MHz
Titanium showcases Apple's new strengths
by Jim Grant
Apple’s new Titanium Powerbook G4 is a visually striking addition to the ho-hum world of laptop computers—and offers interesting potential for the video professional. The unit I tested had a 500MHz processor, 256MB of built-in memory and a 1MB backside cache, a 20GB hard drive, DVD drive, 56K internal modem, one PCMCIA slot, and Mac OS 9.1.



Tutorial
The Eyes Have It
Modeling the human eye in Amorphium Pro
by David Nagel
This will be our first foray into an aspect of character modeling in Amorphium Pro from Electric Image. We're going to take it in small pieces. I want to give you a thorough understanding of how the tools in Amorphium work so that, when it comes time for doing something like the face, it will be more a matter of technique than remedial work.



Opinion
Talkin' Smack: Would Somebody Please Service Me?
Hardware makers need better driver support
by David Nagel
We all have our gripes about customer service in the computer business. As Mac users, we probably have it a bit easier than those poor, unfortunate, pathetic creatures on the Windows side, since, on the whole, our problems are rather minor and can be fixed with a bit of educated troubleshooting, whereas their problems are rooted in their childhoods and are usually only fixed through hug therapy.

That said, we Mac folk do encounter frustrating problems every now and again. For me and for many of you, these problems creep up in the area of customer service. Let me give you an example or two.
