+# Acknowledgments
+
+There are many people to thank—because this book was written over many
+years, in many different settings, an unusually large number of people
+have played a part in making this book possible. Thanks to Dan Illowsky
+for not only contributing ideas and encouragement, but also getting me
+started writing articles long ago, when I lacked the confidence to do it
+on my own—and for teaching me how to handle the business end of things.
+Thanks to Will Fastie for giving me my first crack at writing for a
+large audience in the long-gone but still-missed *PC Tech Journal*, and
+for showing me how much fun it could be in his even longer-vanished but
+genuinely terrific column in *Creative Computing* (the most enjoyable
+single column I have ever read in a computer magazine; I used to haunt
+the mailbox around the beginning of the month just to see what Will had
+to say). Thanks to Robert Keller, Erin O'Connor, Liz Oakley, Steve
+Baker, and the rest of the cast of thousands that made *Programmer's
+Journal* a uniquely fun magazine—especially Erin, who did more than
+anyone to teach me the proper use of the English language. (To this day,
+Erin will still patiently explain to me when one should use "that" and
+when one should use "which," even though eight years of instruction on
+this and related topics have left no discernible imprint on my brain.)
+Thanks to Tami Zemel, Monica Berg, and the rest of the *Dr. Dobb's
+Journal* crew for excellent, professional editing, and for just being
+great people. Thanks to the Coriolis gang for their tireless hard work:
+Jeff Duntemann, Kim Eoff, Jody Kent, Robert Clarfield, and Anthony
+Stock. Thanks to Jack Tseng for teaching me a lot about graphics
+hardware, and even more about how much difference hard work can make.
+Thanks to John Cockerham, David Stafford, Terje Mathisen, the BitMan,
+Chris Hecker, Jim Mackraz, Melvin Lafitte, John Navas, Phil Coleman,
+Anton Truenfels, John Carmack, John Miles, John Bridges, Jim Kent, Hal
+Hardenbergh, Dave Miller, Steve Levy, Jack Davis, Duane Strong, Daev
+Rohr, Bill Weber, Dan Gochnauer, Patrick Milligan, Tom Wilson, Peter
+Klerings, Dave Methvin, Mick Brown, the people in the ibm.pc/fast.code
+topic on Bix, and all the rest of you who have been so generous with
+your ideas and suggestions. I've done my best to acknowledge
+contributors by name in this book, but if your name is omitted, my
+apologies, and consider yourself thanked; this book could not have
+happened without you. And, of course, thanks to Shay and Emily for their
+generous patience with my passion for writing and computers.
