I am a senior business student at the University of Idaho majoring in Marketing and Economics. I have co-written a journal article titled "Time Series Analysis of Inflation Targeting in Selected Countries," which was published in the March 2007 edition of the Journal of Economic Policy Reform.

I am a computer enthusiast and particularly love all things Apple. I am an Apple Certified Technician, and worked as a computer technician for two years before working as Apple Campus Rep at my university. Much of my contributions on Wikipedia revolve around expanding and preserving information about Apple.

I switched to the Mac platform in 1998. While I have worked on a very wide array of Apple products, I've personally had the pleasure of owning the following hardware and software:

Macintosh Plus
PowerBook 180
PowerBook 540c
iMac 233
PowerBook G4 550
iMac G4 800
PowerBook G4 1.25
PowerBook 12" 1.25
iMac G5 1.8
MacBook 2.0

Mac OS 6.0.8, 7.1, 7.5, 7.6, 8.1, 8.5, 8.6, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2
Mac OS X 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4

Some of my favorite books chronicling the history of Apple and the computer industry include:

Apple Confidential by Owen Linzmayer
Mac Secrets 5th Ed. by David Pogue and Joseph Schorr
Revolution in the Valley by Andy Hertzfeld
The Second Coming of Steve Jobs by Alan Deutschman
Accidental Empires by Robert Cringley
Fire in the Valley by Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine
