Title
Technofile by Al Fasoldt
Description
I'm a columnist for The Post-Standard newspaper in Syracuse, New York, USA and have written about computers and consumer technology since 1983. I write Technofile, a weekly newspaper column on consumer technology published in The Post-Standard on Sundays. It's distributed to 100 newspapers in the U.S. and Canada by Newhouse News Service.
For 17 years, I wrote The Common-Sense Audiophile as a staff member of Fanfare magazine. My work has also appeared in Esquire and many online publications. I've been systems editor at the The Post-Standard, and have programmed software used at the newspapers and other sites. I've been a commentator and host on the weekly TV show, Point 'n' Click. And I was cohost, with Mac expert Gene Wolf and TV producer Mark Yafchak, of Random Access, the best radio call-in show in the country on computers. The show went off the air after a seven-year, eight-year or nine-year run (Gene never could remember this right), but audio archives of the show carry on the zany tradition. They're hard to find now, but I'll find a way to keep them available.
I've been a newspaper reporter, writer and editor since 1963. During the VietNam War, I was Saigon Bureau Chief for Stars and Stripes, the daily newspaper published for American military personnel and civilian employees overseas. I was awarded the rare Joint Services Commendation Medal in 1967. In Vietnam, I was wounded twice -- during a mistaken American attack on U.S. troops and during a misdirected American bomber raid against an outpost of 12 GIs on a hilltop. If that sounds to you like Mash, you'd be only half right; it was nowhere near as funny.
