In 1981 Mick was abducted by a UFO in Woodbridge, UK and so you should treat everything he has written since then with a considerable degree of skepticism... (Mick was the 1998 winner of the Sam Donaldson 'Testosterone and Truth in Journalism Award' for his My Mac 'Why Files' series and is currently under investigation by the Whitewater Grand Jury).

Fenton Jones manavesh@mymac.com known to his friends as Manavesh, lives in beautiful Santa Cruz, California, and works mostly in landscape construction with some design work on the side.

A father of two near-perfect children, he spends his leisure time relaxing in a calm round of Paintball and writing articles for his column (he likes to cook too!).

Ralph J. Luciani ralph@mymac.com is Operations Manager at a medium-sized firm in Toronto whose job duties include cleaning toilets, removing garbage, graphic design and invoicing customers--in that order). Ralph lives in the quaint and picturesque small town of Oakville, Ontario, where he's rabid in his devotion to all things Macintosh, much to the chagrin of his long suffering wife, RoseAnne. Other family members are: Christian, a film major and mini-Mac fanatic; a G3MT; and an SE 30. He uses his own IIvx at work in place of the other OS. ("Productivity is important to me!")

Jacob Pierce kirbybird@aol.com is a high school student in Palo Alto, California. He started using Macs at age 7 with his Mac SE. From then on he's owned Quadras, PowerBooks, PowerMacs, every Newton model, and now two "turbo-charged" iMacs! Jacob pays for all this by working as a freelance Web designer in Silicon Valley. For enjoyment, he's been known to compose and listen to music, write angry "Letters to the Editor" to the Mercury News under multiple aliases, and do anything outdoors.
