She's my perfect counterbalance.Thanks to my extended family and friends for their sincere encouragement, despite havingno actual interest in the subject. (You know, the ones who say, “Ooh, you wrote a book?”and then when you tell them it's a computer book, sort of glaze over.)Thanks to all my close friends, who make me a rich, rich man. Don't look at me thatway—you know who you are.Thanks to my parents for the perfect low-level formatting and being unbelievable role models.Thanks to my kids for the opportunity to pass that on.1 Oh, and thanks, Karl, for being too overworked to write this book yourself.xviii
