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
