Acknowledgments

Kirk Hausman : As always, thanks to the editorial staff at Que for working with me to create this book. Without their careful checking of my work, you'd find this volume a whole lot less useful. Thanks to Jeff Riley, Dawn Rader, and Jawahara Saidullah for getting me involved in this project, as well as to Susan Brown Zahn, Elizabeth Finney, and Mike Henry for turning it into a book ”any remaining errors are my fault, not theirs. Thanks also go to Tammy Graham, Kelly Maish, and Laura Robbins who somehow manage the translation from my rough efforts into a final product ready to print.

My family has always been a great source of energy, and this book like all other works, carries their signature as well as my own ”from my parents who started me on this track long, long ago, to Susan who provided constant encouragement and support, to our 4-year-old son who provided the impetus to get me involved in writing again, and to friends close enough to be counted as family ”without all of them, this work might not have come about as it did.

Bruce Parrish : I would like to thank Dawn Rader, Managing Editor of LANWrights, Inc., for her timely responses to my questions and her diligence in responding to my needs in a timely manner. I also extend my gratefulness to my loving wife, Karen, and my daughter Brooke, whose support and patience made this text a reality.
