Dedications

I would like to dedicate this book to my parents, Jim Doherty and Pierrette Phillips. Dad, thanks for teaching me to be a good kid. Mom, thanks for sticking up for me when I wasn't.

Jim

I would like to dedicate this book to my parents. I am not exactly sure how, but my dad continues to live in the twenty-first century without touching a computer. That's one way to avoid online identity theft. And to my mom, who despite being the target of several computer viruses, still sees the value in home and business networking.

Neil
