About the Author


Jim Heid describes himself as a poster child for iLife: he has been taking photos, making movies, and playing music since he was a kid.

He began writing about personal computers in 1980, when he computerized his home-built ham radio station with a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I. As Senior Technical Editor of one of the first computer magazines, Kilobaud Microcomputing, he began working with Mac prototypes in 1983. He began writing for Macworld magazine in 1984, and has been a Contributing Editor ever since. He has also written for PC World, Internet World, and Newsweek magazines, and wrote a weekly, nationally syndicated technology column for the Los Angeles Times.

Jim is a frequent speaker at user groups, conferences, and other events. He has taught at the Kodak Center for Creative Imaging in Camden, Maine, at the University of Hawaii, and at dozens of technology conferences in between.

To satisfy his craving for the latest digital cameras, Jim is a frequent seller on eBay. His interest in eBay led to a book, Sell it On eBay, which he coauthored with Toby Malina. Sell it On eBay is now in its second edition; to learn more, see www.ebaymatters.com.

Jim lives with his standard poodle and mascot, Sophie, on a windswept headland near Mendocino, California. On most Wednesday evenings, he co-hosts "Point & Click Radio," a weekly computer radio show, which you can listen to at www.kzyx.org/pc.
