Mac Power Users

podcast. I'm Katie Floyd alongside my pal David Sparks.

Hello David. Hi Katie. So you pal David Sparks. Hello David.

Hi Katie.

So you have been teasing this episode a little bit

with our listeners telling them that we had a very special guest

coming on the show to talk to them and we are thrilled to have joining us.

Sal Seagoyan, who is really the father of modern day automation on the Mac.

Welcome, Sal and thank you so much for joining us.

Greetings all. Thank you so much for having me on today. I really appreciate it.

You know, so much of what we talk about on Mac power users.

We help people try to use their Macs more productively.

We talk about them the great tools that they can use to automate things on their Mac.

And that is in many respects thanks to the great work that you and your team have done.

And so we owe you a great debt of gratitude. So I guess first and foremost I say thank you.

Well on behalf of all the people who did the work and put out

tremendous effort throughout the years I thank you for that. It was definitely an effort by dozens and dozens of really talented engineers and marketing people over years and years since the early 90s or the late 80s actually onward that made

it all possible and we were constantly building on things that had been done before.

Just to go back for folks who aren't familiar with Sal's work, Sal started like us.

You were an automation geek out in the world.

I believe it was a publishing industry you were primarily working in, correct?

Yeah, I was at working in a print service bureau in Charlottesville, Virginia.
