Elizabeth Castro

I began working with the Macintosh in a software development and distribution company called CTA, in Barcelona, Spain. My first project was the translation of an OCR program into English, which was quickly followed by the translation of Aldus PageMaker (version 3!) into Spanish. My department, Publications, was soon translating other programs from Aldus, as well as software from Agfa, Farallon and the Wheels for the Mind magazine for Apple Computer Spain.

In 1990, I founded Página Uno together with Oriol Carbó. One of Página Uno's first projects was the translation of The Macintosh Bible, 3rd edition, into Spanish: La Biblia del Macintosh. It was a great success, thanks to the unerring tone of Arthur Naiman combined with the brilliant translation of José Rafael García Bermejo (affectionately known as Coti) and Oriol Carbó, among others. Página Uno published several more Peachpit books about the Macintosh in Spanish and also began to localize Adobe products like Photoshop, Premiere and Dimensions into Spanish.

In 1993, I left Página Uno (and my beloved Barcelona) and returned to the US to edit the fifth edition of the Mac Bible. - Quoted from: Peachpit Press

Steve Krug

After a decade writing computer manuals, in 1989 Steve Krug moved up the food chain to usability testing and interface design so he could fix the problems instead of explaining them.

Since then, he’s evaluated and improved interfaces for a wide variety of clients, primarily in online services and the Web, including Apple, AOL, Netscape, the late, lamented Excite@Home, BarnesandNoble.com, Lexus.com, and Circle.com (originally Interactive Bureau).

His consulting firm, Advanced Common Sense (“just me and a few well-placed mirrors”) is based in Chestnut Hill, MA.

He currently spends most of his time reviewing existing sites and new designs, conducting usability workshops, and helping clients resolve thorny interface problems. - Quoted from: http://www.sensible.com/about.html

Browsers

The following are download sites for Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, and Netscape 7.1. which are all W3C standards compliant. Byronsbyte encourages users to use one of these instead of Internet Explorer for their internet browsing needs. The following is a list of our reasons for not listing the IE download and for recommending other, more robust browsers.

Why We Don't Endorse Internet Explorer

Microsoft monopoly attempts hamper internet freedoms
IE 6- hasn't kept pace with recent technological advances
(notably CSS2 & CSS2.1)
IE 6- strangles innovation
IE 6 is plagued by too many security holes that spring up
far too frequently
Locks out between 15% – 25% of today's website visitors
Continuing lackluster support for evolving CSS technology
raises the cost of web development
