Jack Campbell - CEO - MacMice

MacMice Workspace Products Co. is a Tennessee company dedicated to the idea that people want and need handy, helpful, and attractive accessories for their Macintosh work space.

We don't do Windows at MacMice. Every product we develop and market is geared strictly to the Macintosh community. To put a fine point on it: We hate Windows. While the web host we use operates in a mixed Unix and Windows environment, our own company operations are handled totally on Macs. We even have figured out how to use our Fedex shipping system with a combination of Virtual PC and a custom label printer driver.

We are a fast growing, well funded company, started in October of 2002. We have already expanded into larger facilities two times, and have already bought two other companies, which brought our DVForge and MacTable products into the MacMice fold.

We are a privately owned, family operated company with a serious commitment to treating our Macintosh community customers the same way we like to be treated in business. We hope we are establishing a reputation of "going the extra mile" in making sure our customers are happy when dealing with our company.
