FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dearborn, MI — June 28, 2001 — MacHack, The Annual Conference For Leading
Edge Developers, has long been the place where some of the best and
brightest developers in the Macintosh community assemble each year to
compete and show off their fantastic hacks in the MacHax(TM) Best Hack
Contest. Macintosh enthusiasts can enjoy much of the thrill of the Hack
Show without enduring the marathon from midnight to 6AM like this year’s
attendees did. It takes a while for authors to show off ninety-some-odd
hacks!
This year’s CD-ROM contains 82 hacks from the 2001 conference, and offers
great value for Macintosh hobbyists and coders alike. Most of the hacks
come with source code.
The CD also contains this year’s papers and many of the presentations.
The CD is $19.95 + shipping at http://www.machack.com. Shipping is $5 in
the US and $15 for international purchasers. All profits from CD-ROM sales
go to help fund MacHack 2002.
Also available for $19.95 + shipping is the MacHack Historical CD, an
enormous collection of hacks, papers, and presentations assembled from the
first 14 years of MacHack. “This CD brings together an even bigger
collection of MacHack history than last year’s historical CD,” said Scott
Boyd of The MacHax Group, co-host of the annual contest.
“MindVision/eSellerate has helped MacHack pack an unbelievable amount of
the best of the conference onto a single CD.” The result of this herculean
compression effort is 700MB of MacHack history made as easy to access as
possible. Anyone interested in the hacks and papers for entertainment,
study or archival purposes should own this one-of-a-kind CD-ROM.
More information on MacHack, The Annual Conference for Leading Edge
Developers, is available at the conference web site at

MindVision/eSellerate, MacHack, and The MacHax Group assume no
responsibility whatsoever for the contents of the CD-ROM, nor what happens
to any machine on which any hacks are installed. Hacks are NOT warranted in
any way, and crashes, data loss, and other unpleasant side effects may very
well result from their use. Some individual authors may support their
hacks, though they are under absolutely no obligation to do so. The hacks
are raw code written for the Hack Show and therefore cannot be guaranteed
to function for any particular purpose on any particular machine. The
purchaser assumes all responsibility for any havoc, data loss or civil
unrest that may occur as a result of installing and/or using the hacks.
Dates for MacHack 2002 will be announced shortly. Watch the web site for
dates and early registration.
