Acknowledgments

I'd like to acknowledge the following people for having the patience to put up with the various eccentricities of this semistarving author: John Edwards, for doing such a fine job of copyediting; Doug Holland, for providing a fair and balanced technical review; Kylie Johnston, who continued to manage the project despite some contentious commentary from yours truly; and John Zukowski, for signing me to the deal in the first place and also for assorted helpful semitechnical commentary . I'd also like to thank the various and sundry Apress staff who contributed to the effort to get this to press. Finally, I must acknowledge my current muse, Jennifer Garner; it may appear at first glance that Ms. Garner doesn't offer any particularly muse-like qualities, but anyone who has seen Sydney Bristow in action knows what I'm talking about, I trust.
