That's right, we've given the Reviews Index its own dedicated search box. Enter a keyword or three, hit the button and see what happens. If the returned list is too long, try the 'Group by Subject' option on the results page. As always, you can browse by issue, or alphabetically by product name, and we'll lead off with the patented MacAddict ratings system.<P>

<FONT SIZE=-1>Now you can look up any of the over 700 products reviewed in MacAddict based on the name of the product. Ah, progress.</FONT><P>
<B><A HREF="/issues/9903/reviews.html" TARGET="content">March 1999</A></B><BR>
<FONT SIZE=-1>Psst. Yeah, you. Come read the top-secret reviews that developers may or may not want you to see. We dish out the dirt on Corel Photo-Paint 8, MovieWorks 4.1, QuarkImmedia 1.5, Autoscore 2.0.2 Professional, Dark Vengeance, and Future Cop: LAPD.</FONT><P>
<B><A HREF="/issues/9902/reviews.html" TARGET="content">February 1999</A></B><BR>
<FONT SIZE=-1>Marquis de Sade move over, because we tortured unsuspecting pieces of hardware such as the iMac, Epson Stylus Color 740, and Umax Astra 1220U. Then we tormented innocent graphics apps including Adobe Illustrator 8.0, Extensis Mask Pro 2.0, and Extensis PhotoTools 3.0--plus we threw a Lara Croft or two to the crocodiles. See which items survived.</FONT><P>
<B><A HREF="/issues/9901/reviews.html" TARGET="content">January 1999</A></B><BR>
<FONT SIZE=-1>We were feeling trippy this month, so we reviewed alternative, mind-expanding apps such as Strata StudioPro 2.5.3, Vertigo HotText 1.5, and Lode Runner 2. Then we overdosed on cool Mac hardware - the MacMagic, the Aurora Fuse, and a new silvery, svelte Ricoh digital camera, the RDC-4300. Whoa.</FONT><P>
<B><A HREF="/issues/9812/reviews.html" TARGET="content">December 1998</A></B><BR>
<FONT SIZE=-1>We tried out, toyed with, and tested 14 Mac products to help you decide whether to break the bank and buy the store or save your cash for later. Get the goods on everything from killer games to graphics tablets, to the latest in flat-panel displays.</FONT><P>
<B><A HREF="/issues/9811/reviews.html" TARGET="content">November 1998</A></B><BR>
<FONT SIZE=-1>Fourteen Mac products landed on our doorstep, so we figured we'd play around with them and see what worked - and what didn't. The exclusive list includes QX-Tools 4.0, Kai's Power Show, RAM Doubler 8, and WebPainter 3. Trust us.</FONT><P>
<B><A HREF="/issues/9810/reviews.html" TARGET="content">October 1998</A></B><BR>
<FONT SIZE=-1>These things kick butt - or not. We rate and review Unreal, the high-end PowerBook G3, Fireworks, Director 6.5, and a slew of other products.</FONT><P>
<B><A HREF="/issues/9809/reviews.html" TARGET="content">September 1998</A></B><BR>
<FONT SIZE=-1>Can you stand it? We have the PowerBook G3, the Apple Studio Display, and Adobe Premiere 5.0 leading off a collection of great - and a few not-so-great - Mac products.</FONT><P>
<B><A HREF="/issues/9808/reviews.html" TARGET="content">August 1998</A></B><BR>
<FONT SIZE=-1>Photoshop 5.0 is out, and we put it through the wringer to see what would squeeze out. Ewww! We also beat on Animation:Master 98, GoLive CyberStudio 3.0, Stylus Photo EX, Diablo, Cubase VST, and two Mactell video cards.</FONT><P>
<B><A HREF="/issues/9807/reviews.html" TARGET="content">July 1998</A></B><BR>
<FONT SIZE=-1>It's a hardware extravaganza! We review and rate the new Power Macintosh G3/300, the NUpowr G3 upgrade for the PowerBook 1400, and the MACh Speed G3 upgrade card for desktop Macs. We also torture-test 10 other products you've thought about buying.</FONT><P>

<B><A HREF="/issues/9804/reviews.html" TARGET="content">April 1998</A></B><BR>
<FONT SIZE=-1>We've got the fever for the flavor of Bryce 3D, Carmageddon, Olympus D-500L and D-600L, Hard Disk ToolKit 2.5, Live Picture 2.6, PhotoTools 2.0, MacInTax, and three flat shiny round things.</FONT><P>
