I have over twenty five years experience applying my unique problem solving skills, processes, and curiousity to many facets of technology from the everyday mundane to the arcane. I enjoy working with my (small?) collection of classic Macs and some PCs, as well as working on friends' vintage systems. Being able to put some of the knowledge and practical skills I've spent so much time accumulating is very rewarding to me.
Photography is another major hobby for me, ranging from modern techniques and equipment to the seemingly archaic. I enjoy both the immediacy and physics-defying capability of modern full frame digital equipment, to the process and care taken with large format film photography. My interests range into mechanics and automotive history as well.
Pertinent to this wiki, my collection includes a Mac SE Superdrive, a Mac Colour Classic, Performa 6360, G3 desktop, Quicksilver G4, PowerBook 1400c, PowerBook G3 Wallstreet, and a Newton MessagePad 2100. In addition, I have some newer G4 and Intel based Macs. My vintage PC collection is smaller but I have extensive experience with 386 and newer systems. I have my Compaq Presario 633 that I've owned since new, and a Compaq Armada 4120.
All of these systems have been tinkered with and in some cases extensively modified beyond simple upgrades.
