Covering Computing
Although there are still authors who prefer to write out their entire manuscripts on a legal pad, or type it out on a manual typewriter (try getting ribbons for those babies), you really can't avoid computers and the internet in today's literary universe. To this end, we have created this section to address any problems or concerns you may have, questions about software or equipment, articles on everything from browser wars (ask any webmaster about designing around Internet Explorer then block your ears for the first 10 seconds) to the frustrations of no longer being able to find someone who speaks English after you buy your new computer or $600 software!
We invite you to occasionally take a look at the topics we will cover, and feel free to ask questions or post your comments on the Covering Computing Forum. Our webmaster looks forward to helping you understand the latest developments in the industry and an exchange of knowledge sure to benefit us all.
Happy computing!
