About me

Frank Fuchs
That is me - surprised by my mac - taking a picture for my user profile

Since my very first contacts to the IT world, with a sinclair zx81 back in the good old days of my childhood, I never really got rid of those machines or the fascination. I´ve professionally started working on the internet in 1999. I do come from a design web development background.
