 In the past 3 years I went from knowing nothing about Macs... to knowing enough that I DON't want a pc! My Macintosh passion is much more passive than most I meet - but yes, Sid on VR5 is still my idol. |

| When did you get your first modem? | I didn't get a modem and online until a year after getting my computer. heh, it was actually a Christmas gift from the same person the following year! Low and behold my shock and disdain when after all that time I waited to get online and become a part of eworld.. when - shock! - eWorld was gone! I think I almost cried! After alll the hours viewing the promos of eWorld, just waiting to get a modem and internet access.... sigh.... |

| How has using the Macintosh computer changed your life? | |||
| Using a Mac really has changed my life. I love the fact that wherever I go, all Mac peoples are my friends! it's a closeness I have a hard time explaining to non-macers and I'll probably never understand. | |||

| I think the wierdest thing you'll find in my office is me. Forget about some of the surrounding decor.. it's me. | |||

| If you could have dinner with one person dead or alive who would that person be and what would you ask them? | |||
| I think I'd want to have dinner with Kennedy.. and I'd ask him what was the last thing that went through his mind when he was shot. | |||
