About the Author :
Doug Lowe has written a whole bunch of computer books, including more than 35 For Dummies books, among them Networking For Dummies, 7th Edition, Java All in One Desk Reference For Dummies, PowerPoint 2003 For Dummies, and Word 2003 All in One Desk Reference For Dummies. He lives in sunny Fresno, California, where the motto is No, we aren't really the Armpit of California, with his wife, the youngest of his three daughters, and a goofy looking six month old Shar Pei/Black Lab mix named Lucy. He's one of those obsessive compulsive decorating nuts who puts up tens of thousands of lights at Christmas and creates computer controlled Halloween decorations that rival Disney's Haunted Mansion. Last year he actually built a pirate ship in his backyard.
