Where did he go? He used to write the N&V columns, as I saw mentioned in an old Propeller thread where he mentioned one he wrote. I thought that "Johnymac" was the same guy, but why would he change profiles?

    He is JonnyMac. The profile change was long ago, possibly when he became a Parallax employee. He's still here, doing his thing, as well as EFX-TEK.

    He didn't go "anywhere". He's still here doing what he enjoys doing: programming, writing, and even acting [noparse][[/noparse]yeah, right here on the forums sometimes!]. I have been a friend of Jon Williams, JonnyMac, Jon McPhalen (it's all the same guy) for 13 years. He's amazingly consistent in his interests and projects, over and over again. I've learned a lot working with him through the years, too.

    We're just preparing to post another N&V article from Jon, in fact.

    I have been reading his articles, they are very good. I was just wondering why he would change his profile, and if I was mistaken him for someone else. His articles are the best part of N&V, I always read them first. smile.gif

    Ah, okay. Since he'd tell you, I'll do the same:

    Jon Williams: named used when working for Parallax
    JonnyMac: name used from the day he started EFX-TEK

    Jon McPhalen: name not used on the forums, but in his professional acting career.
