STATE OF THE ART

A New Face (and Heart) for the Mac

By DAVID POGUE

                   "The bad news is that learning Unix is about as much fun
                   as eating sand. So Apple's plan was to hide it completely
                   behind a beautiful software overlay, a face rich with
                   translucence, gentle animation and 3-D shadows. Clearly,
                   it bugged Mr. Jobs, Apple's chief executive, that his
                   company's futuristic-looking computers, like the G4 Cube
                   and the titanium PowerBook laptop, ran software that was
                   designed before Madonna was a blonde."
