Aloha!

I've been lurking around this great community for a while now so I feel ready for my introduction.. My name's Dan, I'm in my Mid-40s and am a confessing geek dad.

[Image: macse30.jpeg]When I'm not at work at a cable network being the executive producer for three national news shows, I am deeply addicted to the everything retro & vintage - kinda stuck in the 80s. I'm using Apple products for almost 30 years now and still have my very first Macintosh SE/30 which is fully functional.

Everything else in short-form:

• former war photographer (I quit my profession 5 years ago in favor of my little son Tiger)
• TED member & rookie podcaster/streamer (streaming gaming sessions together with my kid)
• BBS SysOp back in the early 90s
• Avid gardener
• Cigar aficionado
• Curator of pop-culture

I can't match those accomplishments, but I can admire a fine computer when I see one!!

Welcome, fellow newbie!

back in the early 90's i logged into all the local BBS's and shared files / took part in forum posts.

never did call long distance like i heard a lot of people doing. But i thought it was neat when you could use one BBS to call another BBS.

Have you seen the BBS documentary ?

Welcome! What cable news shows, or are you not at liberty to say?

I suspect we have many prominent folks in our ranks in their respective professions.

I work at ProSiebenSat1 -it's German network so I figured the formats in particular wouldn't be of much interest :)
