Having worked with computers since the days of the Apple ][, CPM, and cassette based file storage, Simon has seen technology come and go. But ever since FileMaker was first released in 1985, he knew that one of his second homes would be working with FileMaker, and has been using it nearly continuously since. In addition to his FileMaker work, Simon has had significant experience with server administration, networking, and scripting in AppleScript, Unix shell, and Python.
