Macinstein has embedded several new Macintosh tools on the web. A 4300 strong Macintosh Vendor search, Mac Events calendar, Error Code search and a database of each individual Macintosh's hardware round out the additions to this Macintosh Center.
The "Mac Vendors" is a simple search query that brings back the company with a contact phone number to call for product information or support. Over 95% of the entries also include a link to the vendor's web site. For easy access, Macinstein has developed a Sherlock plug-in to allow Macintosh users to search for vendors from their desktop, without launching their browser.
"Mac Events" is a dynamic calendar that has been added with Mac oriented happenings, which also allows visitors to contribute to the ongoing offering.
"About This Mac" offers a data-driven page that lets a user select their machine to find what hardware capabilities were included with each Macintosh.
Macinstein's Macintosh "Error Codes" is a searchable database to help users see what an error means and possibly assist in troubleshooting the issue.
