TidBITS#520/06-Mar-00

  Recent Macs not only look different, they connect different too:
  FireWire and USB have supplanted SCSI and ADB, orphaning millions
  of peripherals. However, TidBITS readers are using a variety of
  adapters to enliven older hardware, including GeeThree.com's
  Stealth Serial Port. On the software side, Matt Neuburg looks at
  Font Reserve 2.5, and we note updates to Netscape Communicator,
  USB Overdrive, and FaceSpan, plus a new Amazon.com patent.
