- MICHAEL A. BANKS BEGINS "THE INSIDE LINE" COLUMN FOR CONNECT MAGAZINE
-
- ANN ARBOR, Michigan (March 24, 1993) -- Pegasus Press today announced the
- addition of Michael A. Banks as an editorial staff columnist for CONNECT
- magazine.
-
- With literally thousands of book and magazine article credits to his name,
- Michael Banks is recognized as one of the premiere authors in the computer
- industry. He has authored such books as DELPHI: The Official Guide (Brady
- Books/Simon & Schuster), The Modem Reference (Brady Books/Simon &
- Schuster), Understanding FAX and E-mail (Howard W. Sams & Co.), Portable
- Communications (Brady Books/Simon & Schuster), and Laptop Power (Brady
- Books/Simon & Schuster), as well as co-authored Pournelle's PC
- Communications Bible (with Jerry Pournelle, published by Microsoft Press).
-
- In a new column for CONNECT called "The Inside Line," Michael Banks voices
- his opinions and shares with readers his unique viewpoint on the online
- world of telecomputing. "I'll be more outspoken," says Banks, "and,
- depending on the reader, more controversial in this new column than the
- majority of computer magazine publications allow."
-
- Along with fast facts, useful news and information, Banks will bring
- readers the truth about what's available online, changes in the online
- world, why things are as they are online, and what's happening behind the
- scenes. "I'm going to shoot from the hip, but with accuracy," Banks said.
-
- Banks promises his column will deliver some fascinating opinions and
- extrapolations, all delivered in the style hundreds of thousands of
- computer users have enjoyed in his books and other publications.
-
- The first installment of "The Inside Line" will appear in the July/August
- issue of CONNECT, which will be available on newsstand and bookstore
- shelves in June.
-
- "We feel Michael is an excellent complement to CONNECT's current line-up of
- columnists and authors," says Patricia Snyder-Rayl, managing editor for
- CONNECT. "Michael's style of writing and ability to explain cutting-edge
- technology in easy to understand terms is exactly what we want readers to
- find in CONNECT."
-
- CONNECT is a bi-monthly magazine covering the major commercial online
- services (such as CompuServe, America Online, GEnie, Delphi and BIX), the
- Internet and bulletin board system networks (such as Fidonet and RIME). The
- publication is available from newsstands and bookstores everywhere.
