Macintosh OS/Expert Profile
Expertise
I know a great deal about Macintosh computers running the older Mac OS 9, considerably less about machines running OS X
Experience in the area
I am the town crier in my home town, a newspaper editor by trade and a shortwave radio fan since, oh, about 1959.
What do you like about this subject?
My computer expertise is best with older Macs running OS9 and earlier
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
Anything I can
