Acknowledgments

My thanks go to David Pogue for giving me the chance to become a published au-

thor—twice! I owe a great debt of gratitude to Ted and Kathy Spargo, the world’s

greatest parents. For helping me get my facts straight, I’d also like to thank Karen

Sung, Microsoft’s Erik Ryan, and Wolfgang Bauer (especially for that thing about

the German Spelling Rules). Finally, thanks to Ben for letting me use his computer.

—Nan Barber

My contribution to this book would not have been possible without the folks who

hang out with my son, Tristan, when I am busy. Thanks to Chris and Elaine for

sleepovers, to Chris for covering sick days, and to Renee who runs an awesome day

care. Thanks also to Adam for encouragement and technical support. A final thanks

goes to David Pogue and my fellow authors for being fun to work with.

—Tonya Engst

I’d like to thank my wife Susan for her enthusiasm, support, and general good na-

ture while I wrote this; my son, Jacob, for serving as the inspiration for a lot of the

stuff that matters; my parents, without whom there’d be quite a paradox; my mother-

in-law Judy for her encouragement and interest; my co-authors for working so hard

to create a great book; and David Pogue for another shot at computer geek glory.
