About this site
Macs Only! was Bill Fox’s daily Mac news site, established December 28, 1995 and published through 2013, with Dana Baggett as Ace Reporter from 1999. The archive here, 13,749 items across 128 monthly pages, was recovered from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, parsed into a database and sorted into eighteen categories. In 2026 the site is publishing again, in the same voice, with every new item citing its sources.
