- don't just turn it off!***



Speaker Biography:* *Mark Minasi is a best-selling author, popular
technology columnist, commentator, keynote speaker, and IT consultant.  He
first got the chance to play with a computer at a university class in 1973.
At that time, he learned two things:

   - First, computers are neat. (People still said "neat" back in 1973. Hey,
   it was back in the 20th Century.)
   - Second, many technical people are very nice folks, but they can sure
   put you to sleep in an instant while explaining technical things.

Mark transformed those two insights into a career making computers and
networking easier and more fun to understand. He's done that by writing over
a thousand computer columns, several dozen best-selling technical books, and
explaining operating system and networking planning, installation,
maintenance and repair to crowds from two to two thousand. An independent
voice hailed as "Favorite Technical Author" by CertCities four times out of
four, Mark has the unusual ability to take even the most technical topics,
filter out the hype and explain them in plain English. Perhaps that's why
when TechTarget hired him to deliver a webcast on PC tuning, he drew three
times as many attendees as any of their previous webcasts, crashing Yahoo's
servers, and why he's been hired to deliver keynote addresses at hundreds of
techie conferences around the world.

Mark is probably best known for his *Mastering Windows Server* and *Complete
PC Upgrade and Maintenance Guide* books, both of which have seen more than
12 editions and sold over a million copies. An audience member at a recent
talk remarked that he believed that Mark could "do a talk on watching paint
dry that would be so good that people would be motivated to go home and
paint a wall just to experience the joy of drying paint." While this has led
to many very tempting offers from the likes of Sherwin-Williams and Behr,
he's decided to stay with his first love... technology.

Mark's humorous, provocative and yet informative style makes him a favorite
of audiences around the world.  Mark's firm, MR&D, is based in Pungo, a town
in Virginia's Tidewater area which is distinguished by having one and only
one traffic light.


*Future Events:***
