Author's Acknowledgments

First, I would like to thank Mark Zegarelli for introducing me to the Dummies people. One look at me and he said "You are truly Dummy material!" Mark is the person who took the idea for this book to the Dummies group.

Next I would like to thank Katie Feltman, Blair Pottenger, Teresa Artman, and David Marshall whose sage advice helped make this book far better than I ever could have on my own. Additionally, I would like to thank everyone at Wiley Publishing for all the effort expended putting this book together.

I would also like to thank my parents, Jack and Joan Lowe; my wife's parents, Howard and Gail Sturdevant; and Duane Flaherty for their encouragement and support.

Additionally, Stephen Foskett has been both inspirational and motivational to me. Stephen, you are the one who got me started on the path that led to this book.

Mervin, Murray, Ross, Jack, and Kathy: You have become more than just mentors to me - I feel like you are family.

Finally, I have saved the best for last. I want to give special thanks to my loving bride, Michele, who can correct grammatical mistakes at the speed of light and spot a typographic error from space. Thank you, I could not have done this without your love, help, and support.
