Welcome back Memory Protectors! This month sees Apple jetting off to Tokyo for Macworld 2000 where Phil tries Sushi for the first time. There isn't much to report other than a few product announcements. We discuss Apple's big bear codenames for OS X, Josh's deep, deep knowledge of wine & apple varieties, we announce our contest winner from last month, and we dive into Apple's diverse choices when it comes to processor architechture with a new segment we like to call: Chip History.
