Highlights
"The Electronic Journal" — first mention!
Pat Fauquet poses "The Electronic Journal — a success or failure?" — the first reference at Pi to an electronic Journal in 2002 (perhaps an interim PDF or web experiment). The full eJournal doesn't launch officially until 2009-01 — V31 N01 — 7 years later. Significant.
Mac OS X 10.2 "Jaguar"
Jaguar released August 24, 2002 — big OS X turn (Quartz Extreme, iChat, Address Book, Mail). Bill Fox does a Hands-On Report. Cover story.
Adam Engst Interview
Adam C. Engst (TidBITS founder, since 1990) interviewed by Ottalini at MacWorld NY 2002 — major Mac-press figure.
Proprietary vs. Open Source — Lorin Evans
President Evans on FOSS — Linux/Open Source theme arrives at Pi politics. Echoes Linux SIG launch in 1998.
Bridging the Digital Divide — Phil Shapiro
Phil Shapiro continues his tech-equity advocacy (was prominent in 1993-12 — V15 N12 etc.) — now with video CDs.
Mac OS X Disaster Relief — John Barnes
John Barnes writes troubleshooting series for OS X.
