Biografía del autor

In Roger's words, "More than most people, I've 'been there and done that'. And while I was doing it, I was taking notes". Roger is a careful observer of the human condition, technology, and history, and this is what he writes about. He was a soldier in Vietnam in the sixties, an engineering student at MIT in the seventies, and a personal-computer pioneer in the eighties. He has visited twenty countries and worked in five. He paid his dues, but he paid them in interesting ways. He never drove big rigs, but he drove the creation of the PC-LAN industry by working for Novell as it created that industry. He was never a waiter, but he served people as a computer store owner. He never did time, but he did talk personally to J. Edgar Hoover. Other Fun Facts about Roger; Helped engineer the Space Shuttle; Climbed 4, 000 meter peaks in the Colorado Rockies and bicycled from Boston to Minnesota; Is a nephew of Margaret Bourke-White, photographer for Life magazine; Has a commercial pilot's license with an IFR rating; Was one of the first hundred people to play Dungeons and Dragons
