The Budget Mac

grew up in the 80s surrounded by computers and later found herself troubleshooting the pesky things wherever she went. Just before deciding to swear off of them completely, she was introduced to Mac OS X. The rest, as they say, is history.

Her husband gave her his college PowerBook 1400 to play with, which led to an obsession with vintage Macs of all varieties. It also led her to Low End Mac. Now, when she's not fixing everything her users break at her day job or herding her brain-cell-deficient cats, she owns and operates Alliance Family Computers, designs bizarre video games with her kid brother, participates in ill-advised month-long writing challenges, and maintains a petting zoo of vintage Macs in her basement.

Every working computer is useful to someone, 2008.11.19. Whether it's a PowerBook 1400, G3 iMac, or Power Mac G4, it could be all the computer someone needs.
