From 2003 through 2010, macCompanion
was a monthly magazine, devoted to being beacon of brave writing and
no-hold-barred reporting for the Macintosh community. Nothing like it
existed before, and sadly its like will be unlikely to appear again
soon. With the dramatic cutbacks in the magazine industry at the end
of the decade, macCompanion fell victim to the economics that caused
a flurry of magazines to fold. August 2010 was the final issue of
this great magazine, as macCompanion was purchased by the very well
known MacTech,
one of the best Mac technical magazines.
From September 2005 through to the magazine's end,
I was fortunate enough to be its Software
Development Columnist, and devoted five
full years to the 60 monthly
According to
Hoyle... columns I eventually
authored. Many time consuming hours were spent researching and
refining, just to get the article right for my readers. (Anyone who
has ever been a columnist knows the combination of joy and stress
involved in the creation process.) These columns ranged from the very
technical (eg my multi-part series on Cross-Platform Development
Strategies from a Macintosh Perspective) to the amusing
(Programmer Jokes, Top 10 Macintosh Fiascos) to the the
practical (Running Classic on Leopard & Intel).
This is the
According to
Hoyle... column archive for
macCompanion,
beginning with its inception in 2005 through to the end of its run.
Feel free to peruse and enjoy. Although the articles in this archive
will gently age, with some of their information becoming long in the
tooth, I think you will find that there are still a lot of value for
today's readers. With macCompanion no longer being available, each
column below may be accessed via one of three links:
- [article]
: A local (fast) copy of the original article, minus the
ads
- [archive]
: The original article (when available) as preserved by the
Internet Archive (includes
ads, sometimes missing images)
- [magazine]
: A pdf version of the entire issue of that month's
macCompanion
