Apple's World Wide Developer Conference 1999

Wow, this year's WWDC may well have been the best ever. Increased attendance, new PowerBooks, a new operating system, a peak at the next TWO operating systems, final versions of the OpenGL drivers for the Mac, and a whole lot more. Apple game away 50 of those new PowerBooks to developers, a great move to show developers how much Apple cares. The following are the article we have presented on these developments. There will be more updates on Tuesday May 11th, 1999.
