How can everyday people deal with and work through everyday computer and Internet problems and challenges that continually pop up? And how can they get through it without being subjected to the mind-numbing, ho-hum and confusing information that often times comes with typical tech-support resources?

How about getting your computer knowledge & advice from a "technological humorist"? A what - you ask?

Mr. Modem (Richard A. Sherman) is considered a "technological humorist" - a knowledgeable and personable expert who combines humor with an expansive technological knowledge to help everyday people understand the everyday of computers and the Internet. An author of several computer-related books, Sherman is best known as the creator and publisher of the popular online computer and Internet help service Mr.Modem.com, as well as the informative and entertaining "Ask Mr. Modem" weekly newsletter.

Sherman's vast knowledge of the Internet and computers, coupled with his unique sense of humor, help provide easy-to-understand, non-technical, computer and Internet answers to questions received from subscribers worldwide.

"I like to help take the 'eek!' out of geek," says Mr. Modem. "For years I have been offering much more than simple, typical 'tech-support' for my readers. I guess you could call me an Internet therapist, bartender or friend that many have grown to rely on for more than just a software recommendation of computer glitch fix."

Who Is Mr. Modem?:
