Hey James-

Hope all is well. I stumbled across some forum posts of yours about active directory and then realized how active you have been in helping other people - WOW! Thank you so much. The advice you give has been incredible.

Question - do you work in IT? Just have a passion for Macs? I am curious! Thank you so much.

25 years in corporate enterprise IT. Windows, Linux & Mac. When the iPad and AppStore shipped we started working on mobile Apps. They asked who knew about iPads. I raised my hand and in time ended up managing a fleet of Macs for developers and graphic designers at work.

This is still applicable:

very impressive background! It’s so cool how you answer everyone’s questions. Do you do that for fun?

Yes, when work is slow or I am in the mood. I'll jump in and answer a bunch of questions offer advice, etc. I experience a little dopamine hit when solving a problem.
