EddieC in a Nutshell
My first computer was an Atari 800, at which I dabbled with my BASIC programs around 1980. I moved on to PCs, clones and NetWare after 1984, and later 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 (anyone remember MacWeek?). Now I'm editor of ST&P, a software testing trade pub.
