| About the Author | Doug Lowe has written a whole bunch of computer books, including more
than 35 For Dummies books, including the Java All-in-One Desk Reference
For Dummies, Networking For Dummies, 7th Edition, the Networking All-in-One
Desk Reference For Dummies, PowerPoint 2003 For Dummies, and the Word
2003 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies. He lives in sunny Fresno,
California, where the motto is, “We almost beat USC!” with his wife, the
youngest of his three daughters, and a couple of outrageously cute puppies.
He is the Information Technology Director for Blair, Church & Flynn, an
engineering firm in nearby Clovis, CA, and he is also one of those obsessive-
compulsive decorating nuts who used to put up tens of thousands of lights at
Christmas until his wife saw the electric bill, so now he creates energy-efficient
computer-controlled Halloween decorations that rival Disney’s Haunted
Mansion. |
