Wireless Home Networking - Index of

Authors’ Acknowledgments
Danny wants to thank his wife, Holly, and kids, for their infinite patience while
he and Pat wrestled with this book toward the finish line. He agrees that the
wireless Webcam in the shower was not a good idea. (Just kidding.) He also
wants to thank his sister, Michelle, for all her hard work over the years that
has made it possible to continue to survive in this crazy business environment
— we could not have made it without her. He also wants to note that
he has a 42-inch LCD HDTV and even has a 108-inch screen for playing with
the Wii.
Pat, as always, thanks his wife, Christine, for providing her impeccable judgment
when he asks, “Can I write this wisecrack and not get in trouble?” and
for her ability to restrain her desire to knock him over the head with a big
frying pan when deadlines and late-night writing intrude on their domestic
tranquility. He also wants to thank her for letting him hog the computers and
the sofa while writing. He also thanks Annabel for not “playing my computer”
(in the typing-over-a-just-finished-paragraph way that only a three-year-old
can manage) during crucial writing moments — Daddy will take you to
In-N-Out for a hamburger and french fries to celebrate the completion of
this edition and let you get back to your computer explorations!
Ed wants to thank his wife, Maureen (Moe), and the kids, for letting him take
all the extra time to write and for digging him out of the basement now and
then so he remembers what sunlight really looks like. He even got to play
a few soccer games this time around thanks to the kids. He also wants to
thank Moe for all her support as a test subject and pre-editor of everything
he types. Without her to say “Okay, now it makes sense to me,” much of the
instructional material in this book would not have been finished.
Danny, Pat, and Ed want to thank the following people and organizations
for their support in writing this edition of the book: Bill Bullock, at
Witopia; Melody Chalaban and Jonathan Bettino at Belkin; Shira Frantzich
from Sterling PR (for NETGEAR); David Henry at NETGEAR; Karl Stetson
at Edelman (for the Wi-Fi Alliance); and Mindy Whittington and Ana Corea
at Red Consultancy (for Eye-Fi).
