Hello,
My name is Bob
Nunn
(Robert William Nunn Jr.). Born May 29, 1954, originally
from Oklahoma City, we still own a home in Mustang
Oklahoma. I attended U.S. Grant High School in Oklahoma
City and usually try to make the reunions. I also
attended Bryant Ave Vocational Center and received a
degree in Industrial Chemical Technology. I worked for
TG&Y like most everyone else in Oklahoma my age,
originally selling Pets in the world's largest TG&Y
at SW74th and Penn and eventually traveled Oklahoma,
Kansas, and Texas as a Hardlines Merchandiser. I have
been living in Memphis since 1986 and worked a number of
years for Wang's International as Marketing Manager. I
have operated Operator Headgap BBS since moving to
Memphis starting with a Commodore 64 and 2 1541 drives
using a 300 baud Total Telecommunications Modem and 6485
v1.2 BBS software. Headgap
is now an Telefinder 5.7.3 Internet BBS, Web Server and
Mail Service with 4 servers online. We have been on the
web since 1995. To send me mail click

When I
first moved to Memphis a waitress in one of the local
beaneries asked me if I wanted sweet tea or not. I asked
her if she knew how sweet I liked it. They don't by the
way. Unless you like it real sweet get it unsweet and add
your own. They also put coleslaw on the BBQ Sandwiches
here, so ask them to put it on the side when you order
one.
I have
never figured out where anything is in Memphis, being
originally from OKC, a town that is set up a grid with
streets numbered in one direction and named in the other.
You can travel one block in most cities and by reading
the 100 blocks listed on the street signs on each corner
know exactly what direction you are traveling. In Memphis
I have learned that many streets don't have signs, which
wouldn't really matter since the name may change on the
next block anyway. I bought a map and a compass when I
moved here and threw them both out the next week
traveling on Lamar. If you stop in Memphis ask a local to
explain the Parkways. I guess I will have to wait until I
can get Google Maps on a PDA. Even then a map is no good
if you have no point of reference. I guess the next car I
get I should get one of the GPS gizmo's.
Fortunately
for me, I am married to Cheryn
Nunn
who is also a member of my Operator Headgap system and
our company president. Cheryn evidently knows where
everything is so I let her drive most of the time. Cheryn
and I both are active in our local Mac user group,
AppleCore
of Memphis
and sit on the board.
We have
a 20 something year old married daughter, Amanda, who
currently works for us repairing and building systems, as
well as doing web development. Amanda worked for Circuit
City, Best Buy, CompUSA, Apple, and a company that did
most of Apple's laptop repair Flextronics. I don't know
where she got all of her geek talent. I wouldn't think
having 1/2 a dozen computers in your living rooms since
you where born would have anything to do with it. I think
she picked it up helping her elementary school teachers
use or repair the computers they were trying to
use.
I am
also a board member of Applecore
of Memphis, Inc. the local Macintosh User Group and also
host and maintain their site. http://www.memphisapplecore.com
I used
to write a column for WWW.Dot Magazine that is no longer
in print. I am fairly certain its demise had little to do
with me, but judge for yourself. You can view my somewhat
dated articles here
in an easy read format. Presently I am writing
Bob's
Mac Tech Tips
as I learn solutions to little puzzling problems as well
as a general repository of stuff most people should know
about their Mac computers but don't. It is mostly based
on the Classic Mac OS but includes many valuable OSX tips
which will continue to improve as I learn more about
using the newer operating systems.
We run
PortalMemphis.com a collection of some of the Best
Memphis Web Sites http://www.portalmemphis.com
My wife
and I via Headgap Systems also provide Marketing, Sales
and Technical Support for TeleFinder Internet BBS/Web
Server http://www.tfbbs.com
or call 901-759-1543 for info
I
presently am self employed. Operator Headgap Systems is
now incorporated. Our company runs several ecommerce
sites including our new Mac Store - http://resale.headgap.com,
or http://mac-batteries.com
and http://drivejumper.com.
We do a bit of hosting for folks and you can view some of
those sights by visiting my links
page.
Our
company Operator Headgap also builds and sells
trophies
and custom
rubber stamps!
Hey everyone has to have a sideline. We of course use
Mac's in their production.
