Seriously, apartfrom the writing there' s my wife Leigh, and my kids, Dean, robbie, and AddieAny energy or joy or relaxation that happens during the long writing process filtersthrough those four, and there are never enough royalties to cover the time lost withthem. I suppose it's a reflection of their love and support for me that they re oKwith me writing anywayThere's certainly the writing. Brian Sawyer was the first guy to call me when i becameavailable to write and he called when i was really in need of just what he gave meexcitement about me writing and encouragement that i could write for the missingManual series. I wont forget that call anytime soon and, there's nan barber, whoIM'ed and emailed me throughout the entire process. she showed a really unhealthylevel of trust that wasnt earned and I m quite thankful. especially in the dark days ofearly August, when i had hundreds of pages left to write, in just a few short weeksRoger House and steve Suehring, my technical reviewers were both picky andgentle. That's about all you can ask And steve filled out my php holes. He caughtone particularly nasty issue that i think vastly improved the book.
