It’s a small Mac world

Posted on June 7, 2007 by Gene

So, I was perusing the various Mac news sites this morning as usual, and came across the MacTech 25, a listing of the most influential people in the Mac community… and the very first person on the list is Aaron Hillegass. And when I read that name and saw that picture, something went “Guh?” in my head: I went to high school with Aaron Hillegass, and he looks exactly the same except for the long hair and cowboy hat. ::grin::
The Mac had just arrived on the scene when I graduated high school in 1985, and I used one for various little graphics jobs in the yearbook and for our school’s big “Jefferson Day” promotions. When Aaron graduated two years later, he was obviously on the cutting edge and went on to found Big Nerd Ranch. Congratulations, Aaron!
