New writers abound!
This month, My Mac welcomes four new writers!
First, Dustin Roberts joins My Mac with a new column dedicated to the new user. His new column is called “The Starting Line”, and will be a ongoing monthly column. (Hey, he even has his July edition turned in already!)
John Clark joins us for this issue with a letter we hope someone at Apple will read! It’s called “MacPalmTop”, and in it John lays out what he would like to see Apple develop on the PDA side of computing. We here at My Mac hope to see more from John in the coming months.

Cover from My Mac Magazine #14, June 1996 by Mike Gorman
In East and Central Europe, many things have changed. After the end of communism, people started to think different. Computers came to the eastern market very fast.

Softwindows 95- not for the faint of CPU
The Good
Softwindows 95 proves to me that Insignia can pull off miracles. I like to put it this way: Softwindows 1.0 walked, Softwindows 2.0 ran, Softwindows 95 flies! The biggest shock isn’t Windows 95 on a Power Mac, it’s Windows 95 FAST on a Power Mac. On my 75MHz 6220, which is PPC 603 based, it runs at what appears to be about 60 MHz. Since 601 based machines perform better, it’s bound to run faster on a 601 based Mac of the same speed and even faster on a 90 MHz or higher machine.
That is only the half of it. Remember how if your CD-ROM extension didn’t load that Softwindows couldn’t read CDs? Not anymore. You don’t need ANY extensions except maybe Quicktime if you want to play a MIDI file (but isn’t that what MoviePlayer is for?)
TurboStart is a new feature which lets you quit Softwindows without exiting Win95. This means that the next time you start Softwindows, Win95 will appear just the way you left it. This speeds the boot process when you start Softwindows 95.
