Bruce Howard's Acknowledgments

Lauret Howard ” My incredible wife who has supported me all the way in this endeavor. Night after night, weekend after weekend she was always there allowing me to neglect many of the things I need to do to keep moving forward. Without her support this book would not have been possible.

My children ” Chelsea, Katie, and Cary who bring me little rays of sunshine to renew my soul with their discoveries and insights and bring me back to earth with their struggles and challenges and remind me what really matters in this world.

Gary Olsen ” How do I began to express my thoughts and gratitude for a man who chose me from all the wonderful community of engineers here at HP to ask to collaborate on this work. Throughout this entire process Gary has helped me every step of the way. We have shared the challenges and frustrations of tackling such a huge project along with the joy of reaching each milestone along the way. He has mentored and supported me, and has grown to be much more than a colleague. We've not only achieved our goal of putting together a new book but also built a great new friendship in the process.

Ron Turner ” My Manager at HP when I began this project. Although Ron and I had only been working together for several months we had developed a great relationship as he had done a tremendous job managing our team. His support and encouragement was an important part of completing this project.
