Michael Potter\\xa0\\xa0is the Executive Producer of\\xa0For Mac Eyes Only, and the organizer of the annual\\xa0Macstock Conference and Expo. Mike\'s love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High\'s Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.
