About the Author

Rob Hawkins has been involved with computers since he first bought a Sinclair ZX Spectrum in the early Eighties and began writing his own games. After spending three years at university completing a computer-related business studies degree and using a variety of business software, he became a freelance journalist and photographer in 1993. Two years later he started delivering computer training courses and continued his journalism, progressing into computer magazines and writing reviews and technical guides. The computer training developed into consultancy with several corporate projects. Over 15 years later, Rob is still working as a freelance journalist and photographer and also keeps his hand in the computer training market. His website can be viewed at www.robhawkins.co.uk
