I also had the chance in college to work at the Center for Teaching, Learning, & Technology, where I again, worked with people on HTML and Photoshop. The first thing I did for CTLT (even before I was hired there) was a 2 day, 10 hr. course on Dreamweaver. I had a friend that worked for me at The News, Maury Mountain help me out. I had never held such a course! Special thanks to Bonnie Mitchell for giving my name to Dan Madigan, the director of CTLT.

In 2001 I bought my first Mac, a 500 Mhz PowerBook G4 (the first model, why, I don't know why). The AppleCare Protection Plan really payed for itself on that machine.

I had a lot of fun working at CTLT. We had G3s and G4s. G4 Servers. I was in charge of technical duties when CTLT started creating digital video, Media 100 and then Final Cut Pro.

In 2003 I bought a 1 Ghz PowerBook G4, but not untill after I bought a 3.06 Ghz Pentium 4 rig. The 1st anniversary of my first PC purchase is coming up soon, so I will have more on that later. Suffice it to say cheaper and more powerful is not better, and I am not using my PC for full time work any more.

I don't think I would have gone to college for computer art without my Macintosh background. The things that Apple has delivered since Steve Jobs came back to Apple are the reasons I am such a Mac fanatic, evangelist, weirdo, geek, whatever you want to call it.

I cannot wait to see what 20 more years brings to Apple and the Macintosh platform!
