Time to do this...
I've been the Software Curator at the Computer History Museum for 15+ years. Primarily work on preservation and collecting 20th century software and documentation.

Previously at Apple, left as a Senior Software Engineer in 2005. Worked in the Advanced Technology Group, The RISC Products group, and as one of the people who brought up new PowerPC processors. Won a CEO Technical Award in 1996. Worked on Apple's first SIGGRAPH submission "Pencil Test". Met and worked with lots of cool, smart people.

Was "Uncle Al" on KFJC for about 20 years

Created the spies.com arcade game document and firmware archive in the 90's.
MAME team member almost from its beginning.
Helped with SIMH.

Gave away my arcade collection and started digitizing and putting my collection of non-consumer computing artifacts on line around 2000 and have been building out bitsavers.org ever since.

Prefer to stay in the background.
I eschew interviews.
Archival gnome.

@bitsavers I greatly appreciate your work, including wiretap.spies.com.

@radehi

wow, someone remembers wiretap...

I took care of it's hardware for a while, then @ceejbot took it over when it moved to Debian
