Aiko Sofia and Henry Gabriel.
This book owes a lot to many hard-working Indianapolis Colts fans at the offices of Wiley Publishing in Indiana. For the umpteenth time, I want to express my gratitude to Steve Hayes for his encouragement and the opportunity to write another For Dummies book.
Susan Christophersen knows the editing craft as well as any editor I have ever worked with. It was a pleasure — once again — to work with her.
Technical editor Lee Musick made sure that all the explanations in this book are indeed accurate, and I would like to thank him for his diligence and suggestions for improving this book. I would also like to thank Rich Tennant for the witty cartoons you will find on the pages of this book and Potomac Indexing, LLC for writing the index.
These people at the Wiley offices in Indianapolis gave their all to this book, and I want to acknowledge them by name:
Carl Byers, Ashley Chamberlain, Samantha Cherolis, Katherine Crocker, Joyce Haughey, Rebecca Denoncour, Bonnie Mikkelson
Finally, I owe my family — Sofia, Henry, and Addie — a debt for tolerating my vampire-like working hours and eerie demeanor at daybreak. How can I ever repay you?
We’re proud of this book; please send us your comments through our online registration form located at www.dummies.com/register/.
