William Goldstein is an accomplished composer, recording artist, and pioneer in the use of computers and electronic instruments in music. Since attending Columbia University at nine years old, William has released over 60 albums, scored over 50 movies and television projects, and beta-tested the world’s first musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) player before recording the first music score on a computer in 1985.   
  
 Goldstein travels for much of this work and often works from the road. Acknowledging that this increases the security concerns confronting his data, Goldstein maintains complete backups of his data, applications, and systems through the world’s leading personal cyber protection solution: Acronis True Image.
