About the Author
Barrie Sosinsky has written about computers and technology for over 25 years beginning with writing about personal computers for the Boston Computer Society in the early 1980s. He has published books on operating systems, applications, databases, desktop publishing, and networking for publishers such as Que, Sybex, Ventana, IDG, Wiley, and others and seen the industry change and reinvent itself several times.
At heart Barrie is a PC enthusiast. He loves building computers, finding and learning about new applications that allow him to do new things, and keeping up with the latest advances in the field of computer technology, which he believes is just in its infancy. Having lived long enough to see the Boston Red Sox win not one but two World Series, he remains committed to living long enough to see grandchildren and to someone clone a wooly mammoth. To this list (replacing the Red Sox) he adds the new milestone of holding a universal translator in his hands; a device he believes will appear within this next decade.
The author lives in Medfield Massachusetts about 25 miles southwest of Boston with his six cats Stormy, Shadow, Smokey, Scamper, Slate, and Spat; his son Joseph, his daughter Allie, his wife Carol; and Brittany the turtle surrounded by pine trees, marauding deer, and wild turkeys.
