Greetings From the New Guy

Greetings, TUAW readers! I'm Dave, the other new guy here at TUAW, and I'm just thrilled to be a part of the blogging team. I'm a lifelong Mac user, and I can still remember laying my eyes (and hands) on a Mac for the very first time in 1984. There was a single Macintosh in my father's office building and everyone treated it like a mystical gift from outer space. As an impressionable thirteen year old, my love for that little machine was immediately and irrevocably set in stone. Today I spend my daylight hours as the IT director for a very Mac friendly private school, where I get to play with cool new toys from Cupertino all the time. I've got a basement full of vintage Macs in various states or repair (which my wife calls "The Mac Museum"), I still use a Newton as my only PDA and now I get to chat with all of you. What more could a Mac geek ask for?

Seriously, I'm quite excited about blogging for TUAW. I'll deliver the best of the Mac universe with the same professionalism and humor you've come to expect from this place. Now let's get this party started.
