has lived in Kansas City all his life and been using Macs since about 1996. He owned a Gateway PC before he got his first Mac, and it was so troublesome that he was fed up and wanted to try a new platform. He tried a Mac and loved it instantly.
Thomas owns a titanium PowerBook G4, Graphite Power Mac G4, 2 Blue and White Power Mac G3s, 6 tray-loading iMacs, 2 slot-loading iMacs, 2 iBooks, a beige Power Mac G3, and many even older Macs.
In this column he'll be covering older Macs the most, although he also likes OS X and new Macs. He'll also write about somewhat newer Macs, although even these computers will probably considered old by many of you.
Thomas is a big Classic user, and he mainly writes about programs for Systems 7, 8, and 9.
- New homes for 3 WallStreet PowerBooks, 2006.04.07. Although they may need a little restoration work, these are fine machines for using the classic Mac OS in the field.
- Would you believe I picked up a decent old PowerBook for just $26?, 2006.02.21. If you're looking for a low-cost, low-power laptop for light use, there are some real steals out there. Like this Powerbook 520c....
- What's a good, inexpensive, useful, older Mac? The PowerBook 1400, 2006.02.01. Relatively compact and not especially heavy, the PowerBook 1400 is a great low-cost way to run the classic Mac OS - and it's portable.

- Why you should use Mac OS 7.6 to get the most out of vintage Macs, 2005.12.12. Although you may be able to run OS 8 or 9 on your old Mac, you'll generally find better performance using Mac OS 7.6.
- The sorry state of web browsers for classic Macs, 2005.11.22. "One thing that's hard to find these days is a good Web browser for old Macs, whether it's for 68k or PowerPC ones."
- Yes, you can still be productive with classic Macs, 2005.11.11. Mac OS X and modern hardware are great, but those old Macs with System 7 through Mac OS 9 pull their weight as well.
