BY ETHAN WILDE
Ethan Wilde bought his first computer, an Apple II, in 1979 after taking a BASIC programming class at San Francisco's Exploratorium. The experience changed his life, and computers have been close to Ethan ever since. Now a principal at Mediatrope, an award-winning multimedia company in San Francisco, Ethan has many Macs to script, when he is not writing books and teaching about AppleScript.
