About the Author
I lived and worked for Post Office/Telecom and then myself on the East Coast, above Gisborne, of the North Island of New Zealand for 29 years.
From 2002 to the present I am working, and living in a Campervan, in the Hamilton/Waikato Region of New Zealand with many trips in the region and the North Island.
I have a great interest in Computers and Technology and from that Writing and Publishing Books. This Book The Ultimate Desktop Publishing Book
, is an effort to bring together all my thoughts and writings about using Technology and Computers to Publish Information.
It certainly keeps the brain active and it is great that a lot of free open source software is community supported.
