Tim Robertson (publisher@mymac.com) is looking for a friendly lady to spend quiet... oh, sorry, I thought this was my 'singles' ad... :-) My Mac's originator, Tim also serves as publisher and Editor in Chief. He loves getting letters of any kind, so feel free to write him about anything that's on your mind.
Russ Walkowich (editor@mymac.com) is the Editor of My Mac. He also works for the government full-time, is a freelance writer, and is My Mac's editor for production and submissions. In this last capacity he wishes that spelling checkers and dictionaries were mandatory with every computer! He's also becoming well-versed in RAM and hard drive installation, system maintenance, and troubleshooting as his Macs age.
Adam Karneboge (webmaster@mymac.com) is My Mac's Webmaster and a part-time computer consultant for a local grade school. When he isn't spending time on the My Mac Web site, Adam can be found playing tennis, his favorite sport. Adam is an ardent Mac enthusiast who wishes everyone knew how great Macs really are!

Pete Miner (pminer@wolfenet.com) is a full-time truck owner/operator and freelance Macintosh columnist. Pete spends a vast amount of his life alone in his truck crisscrossing the United States, and likens it to solitary confinement with a view.

Jeramey R. Valley (jvalley@centuryinter.net) is a computer specialist for a large urban public school district. Jeramey is hooked on Apple equipment and is Apple Certified on everything that they offer, running an Apple Authorized Service Center as his day job. For non-computer fun, he mud bogs his lifted '77 Chevy 4x4, races his Honda 250R ATV, goes to car shows and works on pro-streeting his '68 Firebird. While he eats, sleeps and breathes computers, he likes to unwind by thrashing his 4x4 through the deep stuff with his buddies in the backwoods of Michigan.
Shay Fulton (classmac@aol.com) physically lives in Temple, Texas, while he mentally lives somewhere in the vicinity of Pluto. At 16, he's currently making shareware and freeware, which he shamelessly plugs at every chance. Coincidentally, you can get that shareware/freeware by doing an AOL software search for "RadarMen99". You can also email him at his AOL screen name "Classmac". He will, however, turn you into a newt if you question the usefulness of his column. Also check out his new Website at http://www.classmac.com
Mike Wallinga (mlwall@iname.com) Mike Wallinga is a college student at Northwestern College (http://www.nwciowa.edu) in Orange City, Iowa. He loves his free email accounts, and encourages you to feed them by sending email to
mlwall@iname.com. He also feels comfortable running his slower-than-a-turtle LC on a Windows-based campus, which is a good thing, because he won't be able to afford a G3 Mac anytime soon. :-)

Fenton Jones (manavesh@cruzio.com) known to his friends as Manavesh, lives in beautiful Santa Cruz, California, and works mostly in landscape construction with some design work on the side.
