About the Author
Mark L. Chambers has been an author, a computer consultant, a BBS sysop, a programmer, and a hardware technician for almost 30 years — pushing computers and their uses far beyond “normal” performance limits for decades now. His first love affair with a computer peripheral blossomed in 1984 when he bought his lightning-fast 300 BPS modem for his Atari 400. Now he spends entirely too much time on the Internet and drinks far too much caffeine-laden soda.
With a degree in journalism and creative writing from Louisiana State University, Mark took the logical career choice: programming computers. However, after five years as a COBOL programmer for a hospital system, he decided there must be a better way to earn a living, and he became the documentation manager for Datastorm Technologies, a well-known communications software developer. Somewhere in between writing software manuals, Mark began writing computer how-to books. His first book, Running a Perfect BBS, was published in 1994, and after a short 15 years or so of fun (disguised as hard work), Mark is one of the most productive and best-selling technology authors on the planet. His books have been translated into 15 different languages so far. His favorites are German, Polish, Dutch, and French. Although he can’t read them, he enjoys the pictures a great deal.
Mark welcomes all comments about his books. You can reach him at mark@mlcbooks.com

Dedication
This book is dedicated to Mike Danna, an old friend who somehow has never gotten old — a consummate journalist and my Louisiana brother. Always.
