Highlights
iLife '04 + GarageBand Cover
iLife '04 (Jan 2004) introduced GarageBand — music creation for everyone. Pi covers MIDI for GarageBand. Apple's consumer-multimedia bundle hits its stride.
Notes from Macworld — Lorin Evans
Past-President Evans reports from Macworld — first post-presidency Macworld coverage from the long-serving (1992-2003) ex-president.
Microsoft Goes Postal — Lawrence I. Charters
Continuing Microsoft-security parody — Charters mocking Windows security (continued from 2003-09 — V25 N05 "Megahard" cover).
First Impressions of "Video iPod" — Phil Shapiro
Note: This predates the official 5th-gen iPod (Oct 2005, the real "Video iPod") — Shapiro is likely commenting on third-party video-iPod hacks or QuickTime-on-iPod-photo. The "video iPod" term was used loosely in 2003-2004.
