About Box for Ilene's Machine

Ilene's Machine contains original photos and text on a variety of topics including: Macintosh Computers, my consulting business, software reviews, national parks, Massachusetts, dogs, wildlife, annotated educational links, parenting, single motherhood, and kids.

I created Ilene's Machine in November, 1995 and finally got my own domain November, 2000. Many of the links will either be broken or take you to my old site for a few months. Initially the Hess Macworld Events List and a soccer photographic gallery will live here. Please check back for updates.

About Ilene

I am an eclectic person, having been a dancer, social worker, and now a Macintosh computer consultant and single mother. I am passionate about animals and nature. My pages include original photos which relate to my interests and vocation. For your convenience, I have put in thumbnails of most pictures in an introductory page, and a quick click will yield you the whole shebang. I also attempted to choose links which are of superior quality, and contain comprehensive information or great pictures which relate to my beloved topics. If you wish to send comments or suggestions for new links, please send me mail. All suggestions are most welcome!

I hope you will find my pages of interest and of use to you as you wander through this great abyss we fondly call the "net."
