This is the eDoc version of About This Particular Macintosh 5.11.
------------
November 2, 1999, Etna, NH (http://www.atpm.com) - The leaves are turning
colors, and so turn is the staff of ATPM - green with envy that is over
the Power Macintosh G4 and Apple Cinema Display. Luckily for our readers,
issue 5.11 of About This Particular Macintosh isn't as hard to find as
the latest hardware from our favorite fruit company.

This month, Mac maestro David Ozab continues his insights into the
musical side of the Macintosh with the second part of his Midi and the
Mac.

This issue also sees a bit of a theme - fonts! Publisher Michael Tsai
offers a comprehensive overview of fonts on the Mac in his column,
Personal Computing Paradigm. Michael also reviews the font utility, Font
Agent.

David Spencer spins a wicked web of font searching in this month's About
This Particular Web Site, and Shareware Editor Bill Lovett presents a
plethora of font utilities for your enjoyment.

Networking guru Matthew Glidden, of "Three Macs and a Printer," talks
about something we all need once and a while - security. His fourth
article of the 10-part series is "Dealing with Your Network's
Insecurities." We're sure Matthew offers more help than just telling you
how to build your network's self-confidence.

Robert Paul Leitao returns to close out his tenure this year with Apple,
Kids, and Attitude. Robert looks back at some of the predictions he made
in ATPM 5.01 regarding Apple's business practices and financial future,
and how they turned out. He also discusses the recent Apple flip-flop on
shipping G4s, and we look forward to his return in ATPM 6.02.

Tom Iovino and Mike Shields tie in some elaborate analogies in their
respective columns, Apple Cider, and On A Clear Day... Tom tells us the
things he's thankful for in the Mac world, and Mike laments the passing
of his French Toast Crunch cereal while bringing us the latest on the Mac
in Hollywood. We don't know how they do it, but they manage to pull it
off.

Scott Feldstein talks about computer buyer types in his column, User
Preference, while David Ozab explores the Instrument Interface in a
Segments piece.

After you check out the staff reviews of the new iBook, Font Agent,
Cruise Control, Spy Fox 2, and Auction Action Tracker, make sure you
digest our new Update section, where we provide updated information on
items we've reviewed in recent issues.

This month's Trivia Challenge was submitted to us by British reader John
Precedo, and featurs a Star Trek theme. The big winner gets an ATPM
t-shirt, but don't despair if you're not the first respondent with all
the correct answers. You can still get your own ATPM t-shirt by ordering
one! Finally, we bring you more desktop pictures, this time from the
beautiful Bahamas. Enjoy!
