About the Authors

Sandra Hardin Gookin is the mother of four boys. She holds a degree in speech communications from Oklahoma State University, and her background in communications has been the basis for her theories on parenting. That, plus lots of experience in parenting methods that not only work but are painless.

Sandy also is an accomplished computer book author. She has written such books as Windows XP Home Edition, I Didnt Know You Could Do That, and PCs For Dummies Quick Reference. When Sandy isnt busy writing and parenting, shes an actress and theater director.

Dan Gookin has written more than 75 books about computers, and his works have been translated into 34 languages. Dan wrote the first For Dummies book (and many after that), so the light, humorous, and informative style of For Dummies books is Dans style. His most recent titles include PCs For Dummies, 8th Edition and Naked Windows XP.

Dan and Sandy currently live with their several boys in the as-yet-untamed state of Idaho.

Special thanks to Matt Wagner, my literary agent, for pushing this book through to its second edition. I am grateful for your persistence and patience.

And thank you to Norm Crampton, Editor Supreme, and Neil Johnson, my copy editor, for their ability to make me look smarter than I really am.
