The first real computer I ever used was an Apple ][+ in 1983; and two years later I owned one (I won it at a programming contest hosted by Bentley College to attract high school students to visit their campus). (I actually owned a TI-99/4A before I won the Apple.) Over the following years I expanded it, upgraded to a Laser 128EX, etc. I had small programs published in magazines like inCider. I still have the Laser, along with hundreds of disks... In addition to the Laser, I also have a couple of Macintoshes (a Mac Centris 610 and a PowerMac) and a 466MHz eMachine under Windows 98. We have all of our various PCs and Macs at my house networked, using a Linux server (I know very little Linux at the moment, I plan to learn more eventually). By the way, this page's background (which I created) is the traditional tartan of the Scottish Clan McIntosh.

My PC/Micro$oft Windows Stuff:
Here are some programs I've written (for PCs under MS-DOS) to convert old Apple
// files into something more useful in the PC Environment (once you've
transferred the files to a PC):
Apple II Forever!
(Version 1.1 as of 9-SEP-2001 -- fixed a few bugs)
All icons are in 16-color format, and Zipped. The DLL archives are compatible with
Windows 3.x / 9x / NT / 2000; the GIF archives are usable on Macintoshes and web
pages. See above for installation instructions. I made most
of these icons, the others I found in various places. I use iKon (an icon
editor of my own creation), Paint Shop PRO,
and Graphics
Workshop for my icons and other PC graphics work.
