About the Author
Doug Lowe has written enough computer books to line all the birdcages in California. His other books include Java All-in-One For Dummies, 5th Edition; Networking For Dummies, 11th Edition; Networking All-in-One For Dummies, 6th Edition; and Electronics All-in-One For Dummies, 2nd Edition.
Although Doug has yet to win a Pulitzer Prize, he remains cautiously optimistic. He is hopeful that Paramount will buy the film rights to this book and J.J. Abrams will direct the movie. His suggested title is Star Trek 22: The Phantom Presentation. Too bad Microsoft didn’t add Lens Flare as a new transition effect for this version.
Doug lives with his beautiful wife, Kristen Gearhart, in sunny Fresno, California, which is kind of boring but fortunately close to non-boring places like Yosemite, San Francisco, and Disneyland.
Dedication
To my grandmother Hazel, Dorothy, Kurt, and Gordon. Miss you all so much.
