Informazioni sull?autore

Alexander Rae is a world-weary Glaswegian ex-journalist. After years as a PR executive for a multinational industrial conglomerate, he now bluffs professionally in his own computer training, public relations, and freelance writing business (he has a very short concentration span).

Rob Ainsley "version 1" was a mathematics package which Oxford's tutors found never worked properly. Since then there have been a number of reiterations. In 1995 came a new on-line incarnation, Rob 4.0, handling Web sites for classical music and his hometown of Bath. Like Microsoft Word, the newer versions of Rob have proved expensive and overloaded with impressive but useless features. "Version 5" is promised to put all these problems right, but like all new software, the release date keeps being moved back.

Reading the average computer manual, you realise that the industry has been infiltrated at the highest levels by world-class bluffers. If others believe you understand them, your reputation is assured forever.... Your 'detailed' knowledge of computers may lead someone to ask you a technical question. Never be worried about these; the fact that they ask means they would not understand the answer anyway.
