Acknowledgements

We'd like to thank the friends who donated their time to reading and commenting on drafts of the book, in return for nothing but a t-shirt and chance at fame through appearing in the examples: Caron Newman, Carlene Bratach, Paul Bratach, Barry Fish, Takane Aizeki, Scott Hudson, Bryan Basham, Arnaud Insinger, Patrick Born, Steve "Shewi" Osvold, and Dan "Born in the spring of increased gyration" Batten. May the road rise up to meet you, may your hard drives fragment slowly, and your applications be robust and user friendly.

Thanks to Simon "Dread Pirate" Roberts for his generosity, his technical expertise, his easy-mounting Linux machine, and that he not only helped a whole bunch on the first go-around but came at it full force for the update.

Thanks to Greg Anderson, goat-roper extraordinaire, who Knows All.

Thanks to Erwin Tenhumberg, whose proactive and extraordinary assistance during the update made it possible for Solveig to retain nearly all her hair.

Thanks to Rob Reiner, for being such a darned fine film maker, and to Peter van der Linden, for proving that computer books can be good reading.

Thanks to Patti Guerrieri, Eileen Clark, Nicholas Radhuber, the team of tireless production and proofing eyes at Prentice Hall, and the technical reviewers, who cranked out the invaluable proofs and technical changes to us as fast as we could type them in.
