That's awesome. I'm always excited to speak to people who've visited. It's kind of like talking to an astronaut.

(To be sure, Japan is a real country with real problems -- lots of them. But it's a fascinating place and I've always been fascinated by it from the very first time I saw Katakana on the cover of the April 1990 edition of )

Almost nobody knows that I was an editor at MacUser magazine. That's because I got hired just about 4 months before the merger between Ziff-Davis' and IDG's .

I ended up bouncing to PC World, where I stayed for a decade.

I was hired because I was an inveterate Mac tinkerer, while just a novice editor. So imagine my surprise as I discovered a feature I've never seen before in a Mac system.

I knew the (OS 8.1) system's text editor, SimpleText, had text-to-speech tools built right into the front end. What I didn't know is that, among the range of voices you can choose to read aloud whatever is in the text editor, is a voice called Pipe Organ that literally sings whatever text is in the document in a style I can only describe as 60s-robotic-Gregorian Chant.

And the best part? The tune the voice kind of sings along with is March of the Marionette, otherwise known as the theme song from the TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

You have *not* experienced "new features" documentation about software until you've had it sung to you by a mournful robot with a Hitchcock fetish.

Absolutely in my experience too.

My iPad makes a great personal device sitting beside my work laptop. One keyboard, one mouse, two different contexts: work and personal (with copying and pasting between also supported).

Das erste MacBook Air wurde am 15. Januar 2008 von Steve Jobs während einer Keynote-Veranstaltung auf der Mac World in San Francisco vorgestellt.

Es war das erste Ultra-Portable-Notebook von Apple und hatte ein dünnes, leichtes Design und eine lange Akkulaufzeit. Bemerkenswert war die A

It's one thing to have a collection of Macs, it's another to have a Mac with a card like this for that truly unique experience.

Read that it has been 16 years since the intro at . Horrifying. Also, now have a strong urge to find the photo someone took of me at Chevy’s after working the iTunes booth that day… but it’s in some iPhoto library on a hard drive I haven’t plugged in since I lived in Santa Barbara in 2011 at most recent…🫠

And yes, this means i liveblogged the original iPhone announcement for , which was absolutely one of my crowning achievements.

I used this janky-ass setup with my... Samsung? HTC Windows smartphone? for tethering. Apple didn't consider us press at the time so we had to buy our broke-ass ticket into the audience.

The people around me kept asking questions about how I was live-blogging, what phone, etc etc. Weird but amazing experience.

I just love this cover. The power Macintosh was a machine I drooled over as a teenager.
