Acknowledgments This book, like the Web itself, is the result of a collaborative process. First of all, it is the distillation of hundreds, if not thousands, of hours spent using the Web and the internet to learn, share information; and explore. The millions of people who use the Internet regularly have, in one form or ariothet, provided the network this book describes, the staridards that network uses, and the software that links us all together. This book would not be in your hands. if not for the people at Hayden Books, and especially Brian Gill, Brad Miser, Jane Com, and Oliver von Qtiadt. The difference between what I originally wrote arid what you are now reading is a factor of their intelligent work. Thanks also goes to the technical reviewers of the manuscript, especially Tonya Engst, who slogged through every paragraph, spotted potential and real prob lems, and reminded me for whom I was writihg. Finally, I thank Rachel, who provided (alternately) advice, criticism, encourage merit, and consolation throughout the months spent tack-tack-tacking away at my Macintosh.
