"Many, many thanks go to Melinda Spencer, who edited my funny English, still prone to my German upbringing and sentence structure, which to this day I can’t get rid of. Thanks to her, you will actually be able to read and comprehend this book.”
Beatrice Mulzer, Author
“This is to recommend Melinda Spencer as a technical writer. Melinda joined the Microsoft Windows 98 Web team several weeks before the launch of the upgraded operating system. She entered a hectic environment and proved capable of handling shifting schedules, sparse direction, and intense daily pressure. In short, her support on this project made it not only successful, but also much more pleasurable.”
