About the Author
Mark L. Chambers
has been an author, com-
puter consultant, BBS sysop, programmer, and
hardware technician for more than 20 years.
(In other words, he’s been pushing computers
and their uses far beyond “normal” perform-
ance 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 — and now
he spends entirely too much time on the Internet and drinks far too much
caffeine-laden soda.
His favorite pastimes include collecting gargoyles, following St. Louis
Cardinals baseball, playing his three pinball machines and the latest com-
puter games, supercharging computers, and rendering 3-D flights of fancy
with TrueSpace — and during all that, he listens to just about every type of
music imaginable. (For those of his readers who are keeping track, he’s up
to 1,200+ audio CDs in his collection.)
With a degree in journalism and creative writing from Louisiana State
University, Mark took the logical career choice and started programming
computers. However, after five years as a COBOL programmer for a hospital
system, he decided that 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 organiz-
ing and writing software manuals, Mark began writing computer books; his
first book,
Running a Perfect BBS,
was published in 1994.
Along with writing several books a year and editing whatever his publishers
throw at him, Mark has recently branched out into Web-based education,
designing and teaching a number of online classes — called
WebClinics
— for
Hewlett-Packard.
Mark’s rapidly expanding list of books includes
Building a PC For Dummies,
Scanners For Dummies, CD and DVD Recording For Dummies, Mac OS X All-in-
One Desk Reference For Dummies, Microsoft Office v. X Power User’s Guide,
BURN IT! Creating Your Own Great DVDs and CDs, The Hewlett-Packard Official
Printer Handbook, The Hewlett-Packard Official Recordable CD Handbook, The
Hewlett-Packard Official Digital Photography Handbook, Computer Gamer’s
Bible, Recordable CD Bible, Teach Yourself the iMac Visually, Running a Perfect
BBS, Official Netscape Guide to Web Animation,
and the
Windows 98
Troubleshooting and Optimizing Little Black Book.
