'''[=MacAddict=]''' is a now-defunct UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh magazine. Its predecessor was ''CD-ROM Today'', a magazine published from 1994 to 1996 which specialized in software and hardware reviews, also including a CD with software trial versions for both Windows and Macintosh. In 1996, it was split into two similar magazines targeting each OS: ''[=MacAddict=]'' for Mac users, and ''boot'' for Windows users. ''boot'' was renamed to ''Maximum PC'' in 1998 and has continued ever since. ''[=MacAddict=]'' was {{Re Tool}}ed in 2007 as ''Mac|Life'', a more serious magazine.

In the general reviews, anything below "Spiffy" was rare; in the interactive CD-ROM section, anything ''above'' "Yeah, Whatever" was rare; and the children's software section ran the gamut. Upon switching to a straightforward five-star system, they came to avert this.
