4 About the Author Doug Lowe has written a whole bunch of computer books, including more than 30 For Dummies books, such as Networking For Dummies, 6th Edition, PowerPoint 2003 For Dummies, Internet Explorer 6 For Dummies, Networking All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies, and Microsoft Office 2002 For Dummies Quick Reference. He lives in that sunny All-American City, Fresno, California, where all the politicians are actors and all the actors think they re politicians. He s one of those obsessive-compulsive decorating nuts who creates computercontrolled Halloween decorations that rival Disney s Haunted Mansion and Christmas displays that can be seen from space. Maybe his next book should be Tacky Holiday Decorations For Dummies.

5 Dedication To Debbie, Rebecca, Sarah, and Bethany. Author s Acknowledgments I d like to thank project editor Nicole Sholly, who did an excellent job of managing all the details that have to fall in place just right for a book like this to come together. I d also like to thank Sharad Kumar Saksena of Dreamtech for a thorough technical review and excellent suggestions, and copy editor Rebecca Senninger who made sure the i s were crossed and the t s dotted (oops, reverse that!). And, as always, thanks to all the behind-the-scenes people who chipped in with help I m not even aware of.
