| How did you personally get into using the Macintosh family of computers? |
Nine years ago, a colleague told me that there was this really cool way to produce "boards" without the use of an X-Acto Knife and Rubber Cement. Originally I thought he just wanted me to put the blade down (guess I was having a bad day ;). And voila! POV was born. | |

Mac IIsi (still have it) | |

| 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? | |||
| I was TD branded quite early actually. Mrs. Palumbo documented in my high school yearbook (circa 1975): "Stop bucking the system!" Obviously Mrs. Palumbo liked to waste ink as well as her breath. | |||
| How has using the Macintosh computer changed your life? | |||
| The Macintosh has empowered me. Without it, POV would not exist. | |||
| What is the weirdest thing in your office right now? | |||
| Those blue spongy toe seperator thingies (used for pedicures). | |||

| If you could have dinner with one person dead or alive who would that person be and what would you ask them? | |||
| Margaret Sanger (spearheaded birth control movement earlier in this century). I would want to know how she sustained her strength through her lifelong battle and how she overcame obstacles. | |||

| Eh, no. But I love to listen. | |||
| When I grow up I want to be: | |||
