About the Authors

Mark L. Chambers has been an author, computer consultant, programmer, and hardware technician for more than 20 years. 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 became the documentation manager for Datastorm Technologies, a well-known communications software developer. Somewhere in between organizing 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, Mark has recently branched out into Web-based education, designing and teaching a number of online classes — called WebClinics — for Hewlett-Packard.

Mark’s list of books includes Mac OS X All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies, Microsoft Office v. X Power User’s Guide, Teach Yourself the iMac VISUALLY, Building a PC For Dummies, Scanners For Dummies, and CD and DVD Recording For Dummies.
