Many folks dream of ditching work and traveling the world, but Gideon Greenspan not only set off on a trek throughout Asia, he brought along his PowerBook and shareware business. Gideon relates the details of his trip and offers invaluable advice to Mac travelers. We also pass on some changes to our polls, mourn the passing of Don Crabb, and note updates to Eudora 4.3.1, IBM ViaVoice 1.0.2, and the release of a color Palm handheld.
