| How did you personally get into using the Macintosh family of computers? |
My present employment. It is all we use. | |
| Status: | All time Macuser | |
First Mac:
 |
The first Macintosh I ever used was the 8100/120 already filled with 400MB a 2 gig AV drive, 9 gig data dock and Targa Truvision 2000 Video card. Good oh, 8100 was and still is a great computer. Completing all the tasks I put it through thick and thin. After all the abuse it went through and is still going through, being used for training, combinations of printing, digital editing with 3D/2D graphics, and format conversions for illustration and commercial production. My first 8100 owns all the credit to my first year of commercials I have produced. It still serves its part in my company. | |
Current Mac:
 |
The current mac that I use today is the Avid Media 1000, Macintosh 9600/233. It fasinates me [and allows me to take on] higher and tougher challenges. I've been editing on it for a year and a half now and still find myself discovering more and more of its capabilities and at home I own a 8600/250. | |
| When did you get your first modem? | I got my first modem somewhere within the month of February 98. | |
| Who did you call first? | My first connection was with www.apple.com. | |
| Present Occupation: | Computer Animation Specialist | |
| Claim to Fame: | Lots of commercials I have edited and produced air AFRTS, FEN and SVTV. | |
| Dream Job: | I found it but, I am always looking for further heights towards computerized special effects for motion pictures. |
| Not So Random Thoughts... | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Was there ever a time in your life that you had to "Think Different?" What was the situation and what did you do? | |||
| Well you may think it was crazy but I had to make a choice whether to end a perfectly long relationship or stay with this job. | |||

| The Macs simplicity made things easier to understand allowing me more time for exploration. | |||
| What is the weirdest thing in your office right now? | |||
| I am. | |||
| My Passions are: | |||
| Audio, videography, computer graphics, electronics and squaking while pulling out my hair in front of my monitor saying isn't there anyone here who can help me. | |||
| If you could have dinner with one person dead or alive who would that person be and what would you ask them? | |||
| I will leave this question blank just for political reasons. | |||
| Do you play a musical instrument and/or are you in a band? | |||
| Yes I play the guitar but, not with a band. | |||
| When I grow up I want to be: | |||
| Able to answer this question. | |||
