Acknowledgments
T he process of writing a book typically involves the efforts of many people. Not
so in this case—I did it all by myself! But seriously, folks… (my dreams of being a
stand-up comic faded long ago, so please indulge me).
Special thanks must be extended to my wife Kara, whose love, devotion, and support
is always an inspiration to me. Who I am today is a direct reflection of the care and
nurturing of my parents Rivka and Victor, who have always supported me in all my
endeavors. Thanks to my brothers; to Ron, who was the best computer-programming
partner (our Bats game could’ve given Nintendo a run for their money), and to Oren
and Leor, who may have knocked some sense into me when they ganged up and
knocked me out. (No need to call family services, it was an “accident.”)
Thanks to the people at HP who generously provided the test system for this book.
Thanks to all my friends and family who add a wonderful element to my life.
Typically, a person’s list of friends would be too long to thank in a format like this;
luckily that’s not the case for me. Special thanks to Rob Blier and Chris Gray, who
are a much-needed outlet for venting, eating, and golfing. Also, thanks to my fan
club members, including Anthony, Erynn, Ron, Meredith, Evan, Grant, Marge,
Yehiel, Safta, Daryl, Alysa, Jay, Cliff, Danielle, Kevin, Jenbird, Sam, and Diana.
Thanks to Stacy Hiquet and all of the Premier Press team, including my editors
Megan Belanger and Sandi Wilson, for helping me bring this book to life.
