Kate Fitch
 I was born in the suburbs of NYC not so long ago. Not much happened until my parents bought our first computer, an Apple IIc. From then on, I've been a computer afficionado (or is that afficionada?) and an Apple evangelist as I came to see how great the Mac was. I am currently a student, finishing up for now, and a host on Talk City, the community network ;) |

| How did you personally get into using the Macintosh family of computers? |
One winter's evening in 1988, my dad brought home a Mac Plus from the office. The rest is history! | |
| Status: | I'd say I'm somewhere between user, geek and hopeful ;) | |
First Mac:
 |
See above ... trusty little beige box it was :) | |
Current Mac:
 |
two: Power Mac 7500, and a PowerBook 1400 | |
| When did you get your first modem? | I think it was when we got the Plus.. so 1988. | |
| Who did you call first? | CompuServe. | |
| Present Occupation: | See above. | |
| Claim to Fame: | I was born on Easter Sunday (I know, how lame) and a few other things I can't mention in polite company. ;) | |
| Dream Job: | Anything other than what I have right now would be a dream, right? to be honest, I'm not sure yet. |
| Not So Random Thoughts... | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Was there ever a time in your life that you had to "Think Differently?" What was the situation and what did you do? | |||
| I think I've always thought differently; but I know, like all Mac users should, that it takes all kinds to make the world go round. :) | |||
| How has using the Macintosh computer changed your life? | |||
| It tore me away from the ColecoVision, and saved me from ever learning about machine code. ;) | |||
| What is the weirdest thing in your office right now? | |||
| (original)This is my office, bedroom and den.. so I'd have to say, the stuffed toy speckled lizard I have on the wall right under my Macworld iMac poster! (new)It's gotta be my desk... it's had several modifications made to it to accommodate a larger monitor, a keyboard extension, and a scanner. I don't know if it can get any bigger without collapsing! |
|||
| My Passions are: | |||
| Meeting new people, going new places, learning new stuff about my Mac, simple things like that. ;) | |||
| When I grow up I want to be: | |||
| Still a kid at heart. ;) | |||
| The question never asked: | |||
| Are you sure you're 15? (at my current age) |
| Just The Facts, Please... | ||||

| Available? | I'd say yes, but my boyfriend would get all "defensive." | Chat Nick: | On Talk City: Kate, HyaCCCinth; Eaglet, VeryKate, lolita (don't ask,) and sometimes whatever pops into my head. | |
| Favorite Books: | Anything by John Irving or Wally Lamb | Favorite Music or Band: | Anything except for country and rap. | |

| Kate's Personal Web Site | |
| Favorite Web Site: | The Useless Pages - the [title] says it all. |
| Favorite Color imac: |  -- I'd get a tangerine iMac... I feel sorry for it not being sold as well as the others and it's the closest to matching my hair ;) |
