Debra Cameron is a freelance writer who has written books on the Internet, the World Wide Web, UNIX standards, and security. In addition to writing, Deb speaks at conferences and teaches classes. She was keynote speaker of the 1996 WebAware Ireland conference in Dublin. She enjoys proselytizing vi users and convincing them that Emacs is not just an editor, it's a way of life. Deb enjoys bike riding, savoring chocolate, and reading mindless detective fiction as well as children's literature. Deb lives with her husband Jim and children Megan and David in Bellefonte, PA. You can write to her at deb@ora.com. Bill Rosenblatt is a native of Philadelphia. He is director of publishing systems at the Times Mirror Company in New York City and a contributing editor of Advanced Systems magazine. He received a B.S.E. from Princeton University, and an M.S. and A.B.D. from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, each in some variant of Computer Science. His interests in the computing field include software engineering, object-oriented systems, databases, and programming language theory. Outside of the computing field, he's interested in jazz, classical music, antique maps, and Sherlock Holmes pastiche novels. Bill lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. He wishes his landlord allowed pets so that he could truthfully claim to have a dog and cat with suitably droll names like "Coltrane" and "Ravel."
