Bill would like to thank Luke Platz for his help with the iTunes section, and would especially like to thank his niece Alice Platz for her special smile. I can never repay them for their love and support, but I plan on spending the rest of my life trying. And, as always, infinite thanks to my wife and family, who put up with so much nonsense when I am in the throes of book writing. Our mutual agent, Marta Justak, deserves big thanks for not ripping my head off when the new job arrived.

Bill graciously stepped in to complete the rest of this volume, and I know this work is better for it. I must also extend great thanks to my co-author Bill von Hagen, who stepped up to the plate when a new job left me with little time to finish this book. So to Amy Pettinella, Kevin Harreld, and Kevin Spencer, thank you for all your tireless efforts. It is this group that really makes the book come together, and it is this group I must thank profusely for taking my words and turning them into something meaningful. The key to this process is the editorial team behind the book. Writing a computer book means you should have more than passing knowledge of a given technology and a modicum of ability to write down what you know.

It may mean you are a masochist, but that is another subject. Writing books does not mean you are smart. Nothing, I fear, could be further from the truth. I typically get a weird look and a statement, such as вЂњOoo, you must be really smart,вЂќ and they edge away from me, for fear that I am about to lay some heavy technical jargon upon them until they pass out. Thanks for being yourselves and a part of my life.ДЄcknowledgments I can never get over the reaction I get when I tell people that I write computer books. To Dorothy, as always, and to Connie, Barry, Luke, and Elise Platz with love. In memory of my grandfather, who taught me to fish, mow lawns, and never give up on anything.
