EddieC in a Nutshell
My first computer was an Atari 800, with which I played Zork and other adventure/fantasy games and dabbled with BASIC programs; circa 1980. After 1984, I moved on to PCs, clones and NetWare, and then to Apple IIs and Macs until 1990. In July of that year I got my first job at a publishing company, supporting about 25 Mac users (including the MacWeek staff).
Now I'm editor of ST&P, a software testing trade pub. I also write a weekly software Test & QA newsletter, and edit EclipseSource, an every-other-week informational for enterprise Eclipse developers.
