I am grateful to many people who helped me with this 2nd edition. First and foremost, I want to thank Art Baker for his original work. The structure and content of this revision is based on his initial efforts.

To my partner in life, Carol, who makes everything possible. I thank Carol for both her personal and professional support. Without your encouragement, I would never have started this project. Without your help, I would never have finished.

Thanks to Russ Hall, my development editor and friend, for making the book sound good.

Thanks to Patty Donovan and her staff at Pine Tree Composition for making the book look good.

The staff of Prentice Hall PTR, especially Mike Meehan and Anne Trowbridge, deserve considerable credit for their patience and encouragement in leading me through the entire process.

I wish to thank Bryce Leach of Texas Instruments who tried to correct my misunderstandings of IEEE 1394. Your comments and suggestions for Chapter 2 were invaluable.

Thanks to Ron Reeves, for several great technical comments on several chapters.

And finally, thanks to the many people who attend my seminars, workshops, and classes for asking all those wonderful, thought-provoking questions.
