About

My name is Christopher John Payne. 

I have used Apple products for years: I use my Mac to run my own business, selling personal development products by mail order and via the internet, for the last 20 years. If you know TED.com, I have co-organised a TEDx event, and spoken at that event, using slides created using Keynote, with help from QuarkXpress (a desktop publishing application).

I now use my iPad a lot for research; creating and editing outlines using OmniOutliner; writing articles using Pages; showing presentations using Keynote (which helped us getting the funding for the TEDx event we put on); and more.

I have been using an Apple Mac for more than 25 years. I even had an Apple Lisa with a heavy 20-meg hard drive in my home for a few weeks when I was reviews editor for the UK-based Apple User magazine (which was later bought by Dennis Publishing, publisher of Mac User). For Apple User I wrote a review of HyperCard, an inspiration for html linking, which was the cover feature that month.

I also run www.applemacenthusiast.com.

My main site is www.triumphoverchallenges.com where I help people handle the adversity in their lives.
