I am so excited to find this site. I loved training and have been trying to find a place that promotes not only the Mac OS but the teaching of that platform.

Ellen Teal, Greeley, CO

I've been hooked on the Mac since the first time I saw the "Welcome to Macintosh" smiley face screen on a 512k.

Wendy Presby, Waterville, ME

I learn a lot of things through this years living in this environment, now I want to join a group of people that helps people to learn and live to learn more...I'm glad to have the opportunity of join this excellent association.

Mauricio Giraldo Mutis, Bogot, Colombia

If its Mac, I've probably done it.

Russ Coffman, Carrollton, TX

I have been using Macintosh computers since 1985 starting with the 128k... How did we ever live before Macs we need to change the old saying from "greatest thing since sliced bread" to "greatest thing since Macintosh computers"!

Mary A. Moody, Leetsdale, PA

I enjoy teaching on and with the Mac, but when I have to teach a PC class, VirtualPC does the trick.

Schoun Regan, Greenville, IN

I work in a field dominated by PC based systems. Unfortunately, most Unix based military applications are in transition to NT based systems in the belief it will ultimately reduce costs. My computer enthusiasm began with an Atari 1040ST in 1986 and I have been a Mac user/enthusiast since 1990.

Paul Lyon, Virginia Beach, VA

The most reliable and enabling computer platform I have encountered belongs to Apple.

Norman Funk, Kansas City, MO

BTW AMT = a great initiative, one I have been looking for for some time. And today : there it is !

Johan Milkers, Belgium

...some of my greatest satisfactions are the resolution of a troublesome system bug and the feeling I get when a client that I'm training really "gets it" or finds a new feature that they hadn't discovered. ...What a great idea...I'm happy to see the torch held aloft!

Kerry Galloway, Vancouver, BC, Canada

The next posture is the best posture.

Hi! I stumbled on your web site through a link on the Internet, and was delighted to see that you have reconstituted! I was an original member

Joyce Nussbaum, Highland Park, NJ

I am the macintosh half of this organization (LynMarc Computing), and I'd be very interested in materials concerning databases and networking. We are still small organization.

Lyndon Allydice, Mountain View, CA

I am an avid Mac buff and have been for years.

Ron Sager, LoneTree, CO

Computers were invented to take the parts of our lives that were drudgery, and give them to our computers. After 50 years, were barely achieving it. AppleScript on Macintosh allows users to create scenarios that reduce the repetitive aspects of much of their work. It's life-changing!

Cal Simone, Washington, DC

We saw the need for Mac training and consultation and now we're meeting it.

Louis J. Brazil, Elk Grove, CA

Ugh, our mail server is screwy. The long address (cwaldrip@grits.valdosta.peachnet.edu) is the old address, but I can also get mail at valdosta.edu. Peachnet is the University system network, valdosta is the school, grits is the mail server. We've also got Gumbo and Catfish (so embarrassing!). Fun though...

Chris Waldrip, Valdosta, GA

We are all very dedicated to the Mac platform, and 95 of our clientele are solely Mac based.

Allan Abrahams, Quebec, Canada

Information technology training should be fun,focused and should lead people to the places they want to reach.

I am also a professional cartoonist...

Bronwyn Halls, Victoria, Australia

I'm really glad that finally there would be an Association for professionals dedicated to Macintosh Training and Evangelization. Congratulations to everyone for the great idea.

Raul Ortiz, Mexico

My formal training is in graphic design. That should explain my love for the Macintosh. ...I was hungry for Mac knowledge and still am. I began to soak up as much Mac knowledge as I could get hold of. Before the end of my college career I found a large percent of the students in my class coming to me with guestions instead of the teachers. This is the best job I have ever had. I love every minute of it. I get a feeling of satisfaction seeing the huh????? look on someone's face turn to OH YEAH, I GET IT!

Jeff Evans, Cincinnati, OH

I am currently looking for job openings in Mac service and support within the S.E., U.S. but am open to offers from outside the region.

I have been looking for a Macintosh Association for some time and I'm delighted to have found you. I am and will always be a faithful Mac User and I'm so happy that Apple Computers have now "black" numbers (47 million dollars) of last quarter ... Great.

Federico Kaufer, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico

What a wonderful idea. I work as a Macintosh Technician with certification from Apple, and as a multimedia developer technician... My experience with Apple's ability to keep me up with the latest is unprecedented in the industry. This is yet another example of it.

I'm interested in the process of learning, through technology tools like the Apple Macintosh. I'm interested in innovative technologies.

Javier Blanque, Miami, FL

I love the Mac. To me it is obviously an incredibly elegant architecture for getting work done and enjoying the process. My greatest desire is for the Mac market to regain the health and respect it deserves in the computer industry so I can continue to recommend it to my friends and use it for my livelihood.

Joel McKinnon, Moss Beach, CA
