Many years ago I tried to earn a living as a computer consultant for Apple Mac users.

I helped trouble-shoot and fix prob­lems for individuals and small busi­nes­ses, installed simple cat-5 wired ethernet net­works, developed FileMaker Pro data­bases, trained retail sales­people while an Auth­orized Apple Product Rep­resen­tative (AAPR), and delved deeply into all sorts of multi­media creation.

I built some web­sites in the 1990’s and aimed to specialize in panoramic and object photography.

One of my favorite projects was a multi­format CD-ROM which could be played in a CD player and also held computer data acces­sible to Apple Mac, Microsoft Windows, and UNIX users.

Back when down­load­ing 1MB took over 10 minutes and down­load­ing 10MB over a modem was only for the extreme­ly dedicated and lucky (since most or all http servers didn’t support byte-range requests, i.e. resumable down­loads) I believed deliver­ing media-heavy web­pages was best done using CD-ROMs.⁠

As time goes on I’ll add more and link to some examples.
