A 23 year old graduate of the University of Florida, Marc began using Macs with the families purchase of a Macintosh Classic (to finally replace that old Commodore 64). Since then, he's devoted more and more time to his Macs: Betty, Gustav, and Chubbs (sadly, the Classic never had a name other than "Mac HD" and later "Future Fish Bowl"). Before Mac OS Journal, Marc filled many roles at Apple Wizards/MacOS monthly. "Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular?"
David Schultz is a Lecturer in Philosophy at a private midwestern university. He has also served as a Medical Bioethicist, youth counselor and public speaker. He specializes in Greek philosophy, Ethics and Philosophy of Religion. We is webmaster, publisher, Editor-in-Chief of Applelust.com. He is currently an Apple Computer Power Rep as well. He has been using Macs for seven years though his love affair with them goes back to 1984 when he saw the original Macintosh. He has never used a Wintel and never plans to. He lives in the midwest with his wife, Christy, a programmer, and their cat Dr. Erwin Schrodinger. He believes the Mac is more than a machine or platform-it is an idea, a way of life. "I understand what you say... now tell me what you mean."
I recently graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, and I am looking for a job as an Electrical Engineer. My role at the Mac OS Journal is to talk about the ideas and thoughts that go into making games as well as current events and issues that affect games all around the world. You'll also find me writing reviews not only on games but other products as well. When I'm not playing or thinking about games, I'm involved in my other favorite hobbies, Japanese animé and manga! Visit my personal page for more info about me ^_^ "I live my life on the edge by being politically incorrect - Conservative Republican, Roman Catholic, Constitutional Constructionist, Member of the NRA. I follow my own path despite what the mainsteam media and the Liberals want me to believe."

My first Apple wasn't really - It was a Coleco ADAM that used a rip-off of Applesoft BASIC. From there, I graduated to a ][e, my first real Apple computer, and then a ][gs. Over the years I've owned a Mac Plus, SE, LC, LC II and now an iMac (blueberry, thanks for asking!). I've programmed in 6502 and 8088 assembler, BASIC, Pascal, Logo, Modula-2 and Hypertalk as well as AppleScript. In years past, I was an active member of Kansas City's Apple Bits User Group. I now live in Florida where I do Web design and tech support. "I'm old enough to remember when AOL was cool and their endless supply of install disks were a free source of floppy disks. I only regret I can't reformat their CD's.
I am a college student who is currently studying Network Programming and Electronic Imaging at Northern Michigan University. I hope to graduate in August 2001. When I'm not in class or doing homework, I'm usually playing computer games, listening to music, writing computer software, designing web pages, or writing the shareware column here at MOSJ. I also run a website called Macintosh Heroes of Might and Magic which is devoted to the Heroes of Might and Magic games. "We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing."
I have been a Mac user since the Performa 6500 came out and then updated to a 7600 which is now the family machine. I currently use a G4 350 and a Power Computing Pro 180 for my daily work. I love my Macs and have decided to help my very good friend Marc out with writing reviews on software. I currently attend the University of Florida. I'm a die hard Michigan State fan due to the fact I was born and raised in Michigan but I love my Gators. I hope that this season does not leave me in such confusion as last season did but we don't live in a perfect world (since we do have PC's still to look at) so I will have to make due. I specialize in programing and have devoted my life in trying to convince my work place to change over to Macs. I proudly display my Albert Hitchcock poster on my cubical wall at work and will defend Macs to the end. I hope my reviews will be correct and enjoyable for all. "Any one can own a PC but only real people own Macs"
A Brit transplant to Canada, I used to be a High School teacher of Physics, Chemistry, Math, and suchlike. I wrote some books, which was fun and made some money. I was also active in the Teachers' Union, which wasn't always fun and made no money at all. Now, thanks to a combination of these activities, a pension fund that did well in the market, and a government which wants to get rid of people like me in order to replace them with younger, cheaper versions, I've retired to a life of smelling the coffee in the morning and the beer in the afternoon and evening. I'm currently involved in Mac software documentation, and I'm still accepting work. "Everyone's out to get us paranoids."
I am rather new at this writing stuff. I currently author articles for 32 Bits Online when not hard at work for Mac OS Journal. Contact me at the email address above to ask a question, comment or just to talk to someone! "If someone gives you lined paper, write the other way."
I'm a pure Canadian, born and raised. I'm currently majoring in computer science here at the University of Calgary. When I'm not skipping lectures to sleep in, I'm probably skipping lectures for some other reason. My main source of income is designing web pages and shareware.
We all make dumb decisions in life, I at least can rest easy in the knowledge that my computing platform of choice is not one of them. Next Issue...
