The HardMac.com team

Welcome to the V.2 of HardMac.com, LE MacBidouille in English. As you might have noticed for the last couple of days, we are now in sync with our French version, ready to roll. In light of this event, we thought we'd introduce our team members to you (as the translation team managed to go on from summer 2003), our faithful readers. In no particular order :
Eric (aka Linathael): European, French, molecular biologist in Switzerland while living in France. "I met my first Mac (Apple IIe) when I was 12 years old, then I grew up with computers, and now if I am working in Life Sciences (R&D), I am still using computers everyday (PC, Mac, SGI).
Kalomir : Only just 30, born with personal computers (I had an Apple IIc !) and macuser (with some interruptions, yet never owned a PC in my life !) for twenty years, I first got interested in Macbidouille by reading the [French] forums, when the first rumors about the G5 were discussed. I was recruited eighteen months ago for the launch of Hardmac, and from that time, as a member of macbidouille team, I have been trying to coordinate the work of our translators, all of them being so very good willing while they're dispatched all around the world. As I studied history and am now working in book publishing, I am the "littéraire" of the team.
Moose : Moose loves Macs and fish, hates PCs and dogs.
Xrissley : French, Paris-based. Early 30s, dabbles in web-design, programming, and other useless stuff... Loves the Mac because of its elegance, and thinks that command line does fit into it naturally. Currently on semi-permanent leave from MB because of a stringent NDA.
error404 : Got Mac OS in his feeding-bottle. Studying financial stuff, he would rather ride his mountain bike in the single tracks surrounding the Loire river, or play the sax. Barely able to plug a toaster, he almost destroyed his iBook the only time he tried to open it...
kurisu : a very late 20's guy living in Tokyo, wearing Oakley shades and working with big ships. Not your typical Mac user, he spends most of his time in the Terminal. When he is not working on the phone or in front of his Mac, you can find him listening to Jazz in some shady bar around Ginza.
If you add to those another French (based in Germany), a Tahitian (in Great Britain), and an American in South America, you'll surely acknowledge volunteer work and globalization may get along well on the Web! In the Mac universe, at least ;)
