_{Cover of the April 1998 issue of MacAddict}
I was never really a Mac person but if I had been, this is the magazine I would have read. It reminds me of boot/Maximum PC on the PC side. Also, Macs make great retro machines offering the most accessible architecture alternative to x86 with their 68000 and later PowerPC processors. The April 1998 issue of MacAddict includes:

Highlights

The Microsoft Office Makeover - A look at Microsoft 98 which was a major update to the suite for the Macintosh platform.
