Slashdot Editor/Linux.com Columnist
Cliff's first brush with computers was a Commodore Vic-20, and his first home computer was a Texas-Instruments TI99-4/A (Parsec, baby!). Cliff hadn't decided to follow the digital crossroads until 1987, when he got his first IBM PC compatible. After a few brief forays into writing BBS software for his high school friends, he moved on to college where he graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, after which he moved back to computer programming and later became world-famous because of the "Ask Slashdot" feature he founded and still runs on (where else?) Slashdot.

Slashdot Editor
Jon used his first computer, a Commodore PET, at age five. By age seven, he was already his school's unofficial helpdesk. He first stumbled upon the Internet at a time when the Web was still in its infancy, and graduated from college with a degree in computer science five years later. Soon after that he came to work for Slashdot as a programmer and systems administrator. Today, in addition to these titles, he's also a story editor — and a frequent Slashdot poll option. |
