Greetings,
I am a native of Texas, USA, currently living in Paphos, Cyprus.
As for history... I have been a Mac user since System 6!! Yes, long before OS X. My first computer was a new Macintosh II-cx, and have only owned 1 PC (in my life!), which was for a specific purpose project for a client. Other than that, I have owned only Macs, well except for the two Apple clones I bought in the late 80s!
As for skills, I am an extensively experienced user of all OS versions from System 6 through OS X (currently using El Capitan). I'm also an expert level user of Adobe's Creative Suite, specifically Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Acrobat. I've taught individuals and corporate groups in the use of InDesign.
I have also been involved in book development for educational publishers, which involves design of the pages and production (format & layout) of the pages, all the way through supplying press-ready PDFs to the printer.
To give you an idea of experience, I once had nine different systems, in an office with 2 laptops, 3 iMacs, and 4 Mac Pro towers, one of which was a server for our website and email, all networked and with wifi in the office. Installed drives, ram, boards, etc. So, I know my way around! :)
And, I am a licensed iOS developer with four apps on the iTunes app store.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
Thanks,
Marc
