Welcome to The Mac Maineiac
Description
Hi! My name is Pete Zimowski and I've been a Mac user since Day One. Here's my quick life story: I was born in Houston, Texas, an Air Force Brat,and lived all over the US before going to high school in San Antonio, TX. I went to college at the "School for Wayward Boys" - the USAF Academy in Colorado Springs. I then went to Pilot Training in beautiful Lubbock By The Sea, and went on to fly the McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom II for eight years, stationed at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, and George Air Force Base in Victorville, CA. During a stint at a "staff job" in Albuquerque, N.M., I saw that my Air Force future was more likely to be behind a desk than a stick and throttle, and was blessed with a job as a pilot at Delta Air Lines. I have been at Delta for fifteen years, and am currently a Boeing MD-88 Captain based in New York City.
I live in Bath, Maine with my wife of 23 years, Jackie, who is a professional photographer. My 20-year-old daughter and 23-year-old son live in Los Angeles. My daughter is a starving "actress", and my son is a chef and fledgling rock star, the leader of a band called Tobias. Jackie and I live in a 150-year-old American Gothic house in the historic district, with six cats, one dog, and a miniature horse (actually, the horse lives in the carriage house stable)
I got my first Mac (the original 128k) after we returned from Germany in 1984. I saw the famous "1984" commercial and the "Test Drive" ad (you remember, the one with the hand clothed in a driving glove clutching the mouse...well, maybe you don't...) and was hooked. My previous experience with computers was a brief stint as a computer science major at college (before I took the course that separated those that wanted to be CompSci majors from those that actually had the capacity to be CompSci majors), building Blackjack games in Basic on the Ti99/4A, and using the DOS computers at the squadron.
