 I'm 18 years old and a senior in High School. I am (reluctantly) a dual platform user. My first computer was an Apple II followed by a 386. I would be considered a expert user of both platforms and I do hardware/software consulting on both platforms (and gotten quite a few to switch to mac) and Access 97 programming. I am also the digital arts editor for my high school newspaper. |
