About the Author
Andy Rathbone
started geeking around with computers in 1985 when
he bought a boxy CP/M Kaypro 2X with lime-green letters. Like other
budding nerds, he soon began playing with null-modem adapters, dial-
ing up computer bulletin boards, and working part-time at Radio Shack.
In between playing computer games, he served as editor of the
Daily
Aztec
newspaper at San Diego State University. After graduating with a
comparative literature degree, he went to work for a bizarre under-
ground coffee-table magazine that sort of disappeared.
Andy began combining his two main interests, words and computers,
by selling articles to a local computer magazine. During the next few
years, he started ghostwriting computer books for more-famous com-
puter authors, as well as writing several hundred articles about com-
puters for technoid publications like
Supercomputing Review,
CompuServe Magazine, ID Systems, DataPro,
and
Shareware.
In 1992, Andy and
DOS For Dummies
author/legend Dan Gookin teamed
up to write
PCs For Dummies
. Andy subsequently wrote the award-win-
ning
Windows For Dummies
series,
Upgrading & Fixing PCs For Dum-
mies,MP3 For Dummies,
and many other
For Dummies
books
.
Today, he has more than 15 million copies of his books in print, which
have been translated into more than 30 languages.
Andy lives with his most-excellent wife, Tina, and their cat in Southern
California. He wants a new LCD panel monitor for his main computer,
but then the cat wouldn’t have anyplace to sleep. Feel free to drop by
his Web site at

Dedication
To my wife, parents, sister, and cat.
