MacForce was founded on the idea of helping Macintosh users cope with the struggling of Apple, and sharing ideas. When Apple introduced the iMac, we then changed our purpose to that of joining Macintosh users together, again, for the sharing of ideas and experience. For the last year, MacForce has seen no new members, and it's current membership has not been active. The newsletter is antiquated, and the mailing list has become a ghost. The site itself, even, has seen no changes. The reasons for which being because I personally have become very busy, and that there was no new content to share.
I'd like to thank some people for all their help on this. Our first two members, Melanie, and Glen. Melanie for being there the whole time, and drafting our 'mission statement', as it were. Glen, for just being an all around cool guy, and Mac enthauist. You gave me some great ideas. I'd like to thank David Sadowsky, for heading up and helping with the newsletter, even though it barely made it off of the ground floor. The guy who did the logo you see above (please forgive my forgetfulness, contact me if you made the logo). And my friend James, for putting up with my rants and raves about Apple in general, and helping me with Java Script and AppleScript when I couldn't quite figure it out myself.
I've worked for Haddock - an Apple Specialist - in Wichita, KS, for the last year and a half. In my time there, I have watched Apple as both a company, and an idea grow and prosper. Last week was MacWorld New York 2000. Apple introduced some new iMacs (the fourth major revision to the line), multi-processor G4s, and something new. Something so cool and unique, that only Apple could have done it: the PowerMac G4 Cube. MacOS X (ten), Apple's next-generation operating sytem, is just on the horizon. And sales have boomed.
With that, I turn you over to Apple's web site, if you wish to have more information about these great new products. I suggest you check them out. MacForce may be back someday. It may be born again with a new purpose, and full of life. It may even see an incarnation in my new company, FreeFall Software. Or it may not, it may stop forever today. I don't know what the future will hold, for MacForce, or Apple.
If you wish for more info, or to contact me, the links above-left that glow do work. To everyone, again, thank you. You've been great.
