Sergiu GatlanSoftpedia editor profile and review archive

I'm a guy who likes Macs and (almost) all things with an Apple logo on them, a member of the "Concerned Coffee Drinking Apple Users Association Against Hot Weather" foundation, an inquisitive geek with my eyes constantly on the look for new things to learn and a student in the fine art of trolling.

I started using Macs about 5 years ago, after writing and updating software on our website's Handheld, Mobile and Windows areas. Although the first time we met Macs seemed to rub me the wrong way, I now use them on a daily basis at work (I also use a Windows powered PC / Linux powered laptop combo at home).

I am the one that makes sure we always have the freshest software releases on our Mac area and the chap that writes tutorials to help you get out of sticky situations or get things done the right way.

If you ever want to ask about anything Apple/Mac related (or anything else for that matter), contact me and I will do my best to answer you in a timely fashion.
