The Insider Goes Deep into the Spectrum

A quest to get the Megabits promised and paid for, “one sweet Megabit at a time”

About the Book

This novel is targeted primarily to a demographic of 10 million college educated Baby Boomer aged men who are working in, or have worked in, the IT fields. The goal of this novel is to reach this demographic most of whom are not inclined to use social media and find pdf files more accessible and readable than poorly formatted and weakly illustrated eBooks.

About the Author

Lefty Insider
Lefty Insider

I am a veteran of the U.N. Peace Keeping Force in South Korea, a former Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa, and I also taught at the secondary and post-secondary levels. I worked in corporate technical training and course development, and technical document production. I was also a urban public school board member and substitute teacher. I was a multilevel baseball and softball coach for ten years. I created, managed, and operated two small businesses involved in document production and computer integration for more than fifteen years each. I am now retired, and when not working on computers, I am writing in the computer user forums, or writing fictional stories.
