Fortune Elkins – Senior editor

Fortune
Elkins’ first Apple experience came when her mother, a teacher, was
given an Apple IIe as part of the old Apples in the Schools program.
After college, one of her friends bought a Mac on which to run the
then-astonishing Aldus Pagemaker. That desktop publishing experience
didn’t work out, but Fortune has since owned a wide variety of Apple
products, including 2 Newtons. Since her husband works in advertising,
her home network is completely Apple.

He forbids Windows products in their historic Brooklyn house, which
is fine by her. Fortune now works as a technology evangelist for a
multi-national software company. Read Fortune’s post on iPhonefreak.com.
