Mark Bernstein, Eastgate and Tinderbox rock

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

I been a huge fan of Tinderbox over the years, using it since I got my first Mac in 2002. It has revolutionalized the way I conceptualize, the way I organize information, and the way I handle tasks as disparate as planning a new search engine and automating my weekly Shaw’s list. I’ve evangelized it here a time or two; I even bought The Tinderbox Way.

I upgraded to Tinderbox 4 over the weekend. Unfortunately for me, my spam filter chomped the email containing the license key, so I was SOL for the project I was working on. When I called Watertown’s Eastgate Systems, Chief Scientist Mark Bernstein answered the phone on the second ring and helped me out immediately.

Amazing things here:

1. A person answered the phone
2. The man who wrote the software personally helps the users

I make a living selling information and software, so I’m always happy to pay for software for my Mac. I’m glad to be able to help support people like Mark who keep putting out great tools.
