About the Author

David Cook is the host of Robot Room, having written nearly a hundred articles on the subject of software, electronics, and machining.

He began his career as a software developer by writing the popular TaskMaker RPG series and MacSki, the Macworld Game Hall of Fame Best Sports Game of The Year. Over the years, he led the production of many commercial titles for Motorola, SmartSignal, and GE.

Recently, he released Copper Connection, a printed circuit board (PCB) layout program for students, home users, and small shops.

Currently, David is the vice president of product development for Microsystems in Chicago. Microsystems delivers solutions for legal and life-science professionals. Many of the newer applications rely on natural language processing and linguistic heuristics to catch proofreading errors, for which David and his team have three patents pending. Regardless of the technology, Microsystems strives to free content authors to spend more of their time doing the work they love, much to the appreciation of their clients.
