Source: MacAddict – Issue Number 1 – September 1996
MacAddict was a magazine for Macintosh computers that was roughly equivalent to something like Maximum PC (called “boot” at the time) for the PC. I was not a big fan of Macintosh computers at the time but I appreciate Power PC based Macs as retro machines today. MacAddict eventually became MacLife which is not as good as far as I can tell. The premiere issue of MacAddict from September 1996 includes:
