BEST OF SHOW NYC 98: Sign of the Times

N.E. Mac ["any Mac"] Best of Show Award: 3Com Palm III

The bumper sticker reads: Motorcycles are everywhere. Well, if a Mac gets you where you're going, then your motorcycle is the Palm III from 3Com.

I've been waiting for a PDA that would easily fit in my pocket and met the Best of Show criteria of "Mac-like."

The thing is on and ready for action the instant you touch a button. The graffiti handwriting strokes are easy to learn

The Palm world is Mac-like when it comes to apps too. There are just a ton of add-on programs for the Palm users, many of them shareware. Third party products abound and conduits to and from your Palm for Quicken, Filemaker, and Excel make working seamless.

Beam me up Scotty. Elizabeth Cardinale and other members of the Palm III Mac team beams info on Mac application "conduits" onto my Palm III. [near photo]

Basking in the glow of the iMac success doesn't mean you actually have to buy one to plug into the USB revolution. [far photo]

Mike Ridenhour, Pres. of KEYSPAN is in the add-on biz providing connections of all kinds [below]

N.E. Mac ["any Mac"] Best of Show Award:
KEYSPAN's USB PCI Card

Classic N.E. Mac thinking... I'm not going to buy an iMac anytime soon... but I want some of those cool iMac peripherals... printers... drives... because Universal Serial Bus ports will be on future consumer-level Macs... so get a KEYSPAN USB PCI card for your current PowerMac... $79... is our thinking too transparent? We love those guys at KEYSPAN... lots of hardware options all for less than a hundred bucks.

Check out the Macintouch USB Product Guide page for the latest in USB stuff.
