You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:16, 2 September 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''MacTech''''' is a monthly magazine for consultants, IT Pros, system administrators, software developers, and other technical users of the [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] [[Macintosh]] line of computers.

The magazine was called "MacTech" for its first two issues, starting in 1984, after which its name was changed to '''MacTutor'''.  At the time the magazine defined itself as "a technical publication devoted to advancing programming knowledge of the Macintosh for both hacker and professional alike".  

In the spring of 1989 a new and separate magazine called '''''MacTech''''' was launched by TechAlliance, a global Apple users group headquartered in Renton, WA that hosted the Apple Programmers and Developers Association (APDA). The founding editor of '''''MacTech''''' was [[Andrew Himes]], and Himes described the magazine as "The journal designed by people who program and develop for the Apple Macintosh. You hold in your hands what is designed to be a legendary publication for a legendary computer. In these wee, early hours of the computer revolution, just a scant half decade after the introduction of Apple's flagship computer, the world needs a magazine that focuses on the needs of the Mac developer community with the intensity, vision, and utility of no other existing publication. Nuts-and-bolts programming solutions and tutorials. In-depth looks at future technologies and present opportunities. An emphasis on both object-oriented and proceduarl languages, on database programming and spreadsheet macros, on HyperTalking and multimedia applications. Feature articles, tutorials, reviews, and commentary by some of the most important, creative, and eloquent programmers in the Macintosh universe. MacTech will be preeminently useful and intellectually provocative. An essential desktop reference for today's serious programmers, as well as a tool that will help pave your way to the future of programming."<ref>((cite magazine|last=Himes|first=Andrew|title=Editor-in-chief|journal=MacTech|date=March 15, 1989|volume=1|issue=1|page=8|publisher=TechAlliance, a computer cooperative|location=Renton, WA journal))</ref> 

In 1993, ''MacTutor Magazine'' purchased ''MacTech'', and the name of the consolidated publication became '''''MacTech'''''.

In 2010, ''MacTech'' launched its event series -- first with MacTech Conference, then MacTech Boot Camp and then MacTech InDepth.  2010 had a single event, 2011 had seven events, and 2012 has fifteen events.

MacTech.com<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.mactech.com/|title=Home|website=MacTech.com))</ref> also provides a news aggregator service.

The magazine is privately owned, held by Xplain Corporation.

On June 5, 2008, MacTech announced it would act as caretaker to the archives of [[MacMinute]] News and Forums. At these forums, Stan's Lounge<ref>((Cite web|url=http://forums.applecentral.com/|title=AppleCentral Forums - Forums powered by UBB.threads|website=forums.applecentral.com))</ref> is crowded with MacMinute and [[MacCentral]] faithful in honor of [[Stan Flack]]'s contributions to the Macintosh community.

On November 6, 2009, MacTech announced that it was acquiring MacMod, a community site dedicated to [[modding]] Apple hardware and software.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.mactech.com/macmod/|title=Macmod Archive))</ref> As part of the acquisition, the MacMod forums have been integrated into MacTech's, and MacTech now has a [[podcast]] dedicated to Mac technical topics as well as industry news, event coverage, and interviews.
