In high school, Margaret Levine Young was in a computer club
before there were high school computer clubs. She stayed in the
field throughout college, graduated from Yale, and went on to
become one of the first PC managers in the early 1980s at Columbia
Pictures, where she rode the elevator with big stars whose names
she wouldn’t dream of dropping here.
Since then, Margy has co-authored more than 25 computer books about
the topics of the Internet, UNIX, Word Perfect, Microsoft Access,
and (stab from the past) PC-File and Javelin, including Access
2003 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies, Dummies 101: The
Internet For Windows 98, UNIX For Dummies, and Word Perfect
for Linux For Dummies (all published by Wiley Publishing,
Inc.), Poor Richard’s Building Online Communities (published
by Top Floor Publishing), and Windows XP: The Complete Reference
and Internet: The Complete Reference (published by
Osborne/Mc Graw-Hill). Aside from explaining computers to anyone who
will listen, her other passion is her children, along with music,
Unitarian Universalism (www.uua.org), reading, and anything to do
with eating. She lives in Vermont (see www.gurus.com/margy for some
scenery).
David C. Kay is a writer, engineer, artist, and
naturalist, combining disparate occupations with the same
effectiveness as his favorite business establishment, Acton
Muffler, Brake, and Ice Cream (now defunct). Dave has written or
contributed to more than a dozen computer books, including various
editions of Word Perfect 11 For Dummies, Graphics File
Formats, and The Complete Reference, Millennium
Edition.
Besides writing computer books, Dave consults and writes for
high-tech firms, and also teaches about wildlife and edible plants.
For recreation, he paints theatrical sets, makes strange blobs from
molten glass, sings Gilbert and Sullivan choruses in public, and
hikes in whatever mountains he can get to. He longs for the Rocky
Mountains of Canada, pines for the fjords of New Zealand, and
dreams of tracking kiwis and hedgehogs in Wanaka. He feels silly
writing about himself in the third person like this and will stop
now.
