Steve Bush, Pen Computing's Windows CE editor in 2001, got his
start in the wonderful world of computers almost 20 years ago, as an assembler language programmer. After that, Steve spent many years consulting with numerous Fortune 1000 companies

Our initial Windows CE/Windows Powered platform editor Dan Hanttula covered all things CE between the time Microsoft introduced CE at the 1996 Fall
