| How did you personally get into using the Macintosh family of computers? |
Actually I started with the first Apples out to the public too many years ago to remember. My first Mac was my school computer for my classroom. | |
| Status: | Hopeful... can't wait to ditch this PC and get back to my Mac. | |
First Mac:
 |
Mac 6300 that was purchased for my classroom. I got to take it home for the summer. | |
Current Mac:
 |
A picture until I can afford one. :( | |
| When did you get your first modem? | I got my first modem in May of 1995, and the rest is history! | |
| Who did you call first? | On line it was AOL because they were the only ones you could get on the net with and not kick out a fortune in money first. | |
| Present Occupation: | Talk City Chat Host and Forum Manager | |
| Claim to Fame: | LOL Do acting credits count? | |
| Dream Job: | Writer and game designer, to be truly free with my ideas and my life. |
| 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? | |||
| Probably the best example was a classroom of students that couldn't get the concept of subtraction. So I grabbed up some micro machines from my son's collect and the next day was flying miniature planes and shooting them down with a miniature tank to demonstrate the concept of subtraction. | |||
| How has using the Macintosh computer changed your life? | |||
| Being forced to learn the mac for my classroom quite literally opened up the entire world to me. I discovered computers, networking, and how to communicate in moments around the world. I hate to think where I would be without the experience. | |||
| What is the weirdest thing in your office right now? | |||
| It has to be either my stuffed Laughing Fit so that I can throw a fit in safety, or my crab claw that is to remind me of a humorous story for the novel I'm editing at the moment. | |||
| My Passions are: | |||
| My family, science fiction, renaissance fairs. | |||
| If you could have dinner with one person dead or alive who would that person be and what would you ask them? | |||
| Queen Elizabeth... I want to know why she did what she did with Robert Dudley, and question her more about her childhood with the Dudley brothers. | |||
| When I grow up I want to be: | |||
| Rich! | |||
| The question never asked: | |||
| Why the nickname Magic? For two reasons, the simple answer because I play the game Magic the Gathering by Wizards of the Coast, but also because to me life itself is Magic, and I never want to forget that. Using that as my online nickname is a constant reminder of that. |
| Just The Facts, Please... | ||||
