What attracted you to become a member of MacNexus?

Paul Harriman, my landlord at the time, told me about MacNexus. He was very enthusiastic and convincing.

When did you join MacNexus?

It must have been 1998, or close to it.

What Mac(s) do you own?

Currently I have a laptop and an iMac. They are in a network with my printer. I also have an iPhone.

Besides computing how do you spend your time?

See the photo. This is my nephew and myself on a Segway Tour in San Francisco. He was visiting from Wisconsin. And, I have a 6 month old Yorkie puppy, Charlie, so I’m doing a lot of puppy things: dog parks, walks, and obedience classes.
