Dr. Peter Jörgensen, aka drpj, has been exploring the limits of personal computer technology for over 25 years... that's about as long as personal computers have been around! He started out with an Apple II plus and has owned machines running CP/M, MS-DOS, Windows, Mac OS (classic & X) and Linux. He's spent the past twenty-odd years helping university faculty, staff and students get more out of their computers than they thought they could.

In addition to his PhD in Communication/Informatics (University at Buffalo), drpj has a Masters Degree in Information Resources Management from Syracuse University and a BS in Forest Biology from SUNY.

You may find he's also written on some of his other favorite topics, such as electric boating, and hand tools.
