“…clear explanations in plain English, and a bit of fun and

About the AuthorAlan Simpson is the author of over 80 computer books on all sorts of
topics: Windows, databases, Web site design and development, programming,
and network administration.
His books are published throughout the world
in over a dozen languages and have millions of copies. When not building
computers or writing books about them, Alan eats or sleeps.
He
doesn’t have a fancy job title, because he’s never had a real
job, and still doesn’t know how to tie a tie. Margaret
Levine Young has co-authored several dozen computer books about the
Internet, UNIX, WordPerfect, Access, and (stab from the past) PC-File and
Javelin, including The Internet For Dummies (published by Wiley
Publishing, Inc.) and Windows XP Home Edition: The Complete
Reference (published by Osborne/McGraw-Hill).
She met her future
husband Jordan in the R.E.S.I.S.T.O.R.S., a high-school computer club
before there were high school computer clubs.
Her other passions are her
children, music, Unitarian Universalism (www.uua.org), reading, and
anything to do with cooking or eating. Alison Barrows has
authored or co-authored books on Windows, the Internet, Microsoft Access,
WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, and other topics.
In addition to writing books,
Alison writes and edits technical documentation and training material. She
holds a B.A. in International Relations from Wellesley College and an
M.P.P. from Harvard University.
In real life she hangs out with her
“guys” — Parker, 3, and Mason, 1, and tries to carve out
some time to practice yoga.
Alison lives with her family in central
Massachusetts.
