Mark L. Chambers has been an author, computer consultant, BBS sysop, programmer, and hardware technician for almost 30 years - pushing computers and their uses far beyond "normal" performance limits for decades now. His fi rst love affair with a computer peripheral blossomed in 1984 when he bought his lightning-fast 300 BPS modem for his Atari 400.
