This site is owned and maintained by Alan Fletcher. Raccoonworks is my alter ego. I have been involved with computers since 1982 playing various roles - from programming to building my own brand of computers.

I have worked for several different companies in Brazil, Argentina, Austria, Canada and, of course, the USA were I currently reside and work and also do some consulting on the side.
