Adam Karneboge <webmaster@mymac.com> is My Mac's webmaster, and a graphic design major at Dominican University <http://www.dom.edu> in River Forest, IL, 2 miles away from the Chicago city limits. When Adam isn't hard at work on an assignment, or diligently working on the My Mac website, he can be found playing tennis, his favorite sport. Adam is also the proud owner of a PowerBook G3, and loves to see desktop users fumble with trackpads :-) Adam loves email, so write to him anytime at <webmaster@mymac.com>.
Jim Moravec <copyeditor@mymac.com> is My Mac's Copy Editor. Jim lives in Darien, Illinois, and is a salesman with two children.
Lonnie Houghton <lonnie@mymac.com> is an art director for an educational publisher in Portland, Maine. He and his wife raise their son (2 years old) and daughter (6 months) in the lovely countryside of rural Maine, over an hour's drive from his office. Lonnie's hobbies are traveling to and from work, changing diapers, playing with large Legos, watching children's videos, and playing on his Mac whenever he's willing to trade-off sleep. He would love to hear from you regarding the Macintosh or any other creative topic.
Pete Miner <pete@mymac.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. Be sure to check out Pete's home page, The Macintosh Funnies, at <http://www.wolfenet.com/~pminer>.
Susan Howerter <susan@mymac.com> has been teaching special education for 25 years. Susan now has two Macs at home, a 5215 and a StarMax 3160, both with 48 megs of RAM and a couple of APS hard drives. Susan would love to hear from you, so be sure to drop her an email with your thoughts and comments.
John Nemerovski <nemo@mymac.com> is a musician, photographer, outdoorsman, and Mac consultant residing in sunny Tucson, Arizona. He is an enthusiastic participant in the local and international Macintosh and Internet communities, and welcomes reader comments.
Mick O'Neil <mickoneil@mymac.com> is a former columnist for PCW Magazine in the UK and a freelance writer contributing articles to a number of periodicals including Byte Magazine, MacUser and MacWorld (UK and Australia), and the Journal of Computing in Higher Education. Mick's home page is at <http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/3423/mick.html>
Jason Kim <jason@mymac.com> is a high school student in Irvine, California. He's literally grown up with the Macintosh since his dad brought home a 512K when he was just 1 year old. Now his family has 4 Macs: that original 512K, a Macintosh IIcx, a PowerComputing Power 120, and a Performa 6400/200. Among many interests related to Macs, Jason likes to write his own software and dabbles in alternate operating systems (BeOS, MkLinux). Jason's home page is at <http://jasonk.home.ml.org>.
Mike Wallinga <mikew@mymac.com> is a Mac-loving college sophomore. Unlike usual, this month he refuses to beg for reader email, but you can still drop him a line at <mikew@mymac.com> and let him know what you think.
Fenton Jones <manavesh@mymac.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. He wants to do more designing in the future to justify spending more money on computer graphics. He's a single father with two girls.
Mark Marcantonio <markm@mymac.com> is a parochial middle school teacher in the Portland, OR area. He spends much of his free class time trying to keep the school's Windows machines running. In the meantime, the Macs at the school just keep going and going... One day he hopes to have Steve Jobs actually buy one of his advertising ideas. In the meantime, he'll keep spending his miniscule paycheck five minutes after getting it.
Ed Tobey <edtobey@mymac.com> is a licensed Apple Service Technician (A+ Certified,too) with almost 8 years in the field. He is currently deployed in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia (Harrisonburg, to be precise) where he toils diligently repairing Apple IIe's to PowerMac G3s and anything in between. A father of two near-perfect children, he spends his leisure time relaxing in a calm round of Paintball and writing articles for his column (he likes to cook, too!). Check out the new Web page he just set up for his computer business at <http://www.freeyellow.com/members3/advantagemac>.
Barbara Bell <barbara@mymac.com> is a Marketing Communications Coordinator for a major healthcare device manufacturer in Massachusetts (say that five times fast!). She is an avid Mac fan and constantly fights the good fight of Mac vs. Wintel at work. She shares her life with her long time companion, James, and his two daughters, Krystal and Briann. Don't be shy about emailing your questions and comments to her at <barbara@mymac.com>. She'll help you find the answer!
Ralph J. Luciani <ralph@mymac.com> is Operations Manager at a medium-sized firm in Toronto whose job duties include cleaning toilets, removing garbage, graphic design and invoicing customers—in that order). Ralph lives in the quaint and picturesque small town of Oakville, Ontario, where he's rabid in his devotion to all things Macintosh, much to the chagrin of his long suffering wife, RoseAnne. Other family members are: Christian, a film major and mini-Mac fanatic; a G3MT; and an SE 30. He uses his own IIvx at work in place of the other OS. ("Productivity is important to me!”)
Bob McCormick <mccnow@rocketmail.com> Born and raised in Oregon, he is a "divergent thinker" who used a Mac for the first time in 1985. (If only he had used one of those before he purchased his Commodore 64!) While not a techie himself, he does work with them in his job as a subcontractor for a major PC manufacturer (and yes, they also use Macs!). His first Mac was a PowerBook 150 (school would have been twice as hard without that!), next came a 7100/80, and he now uses a MacTel XB Base Series 604E and dreams of getting a PowerBook again. (Hmmm... WallStreet II, or wait for the new 101s?) Bob recommends Macs, helps friends and family with their Macs, regularly haunts the rumor sites, and tends to "Think Different" all on his own.
