Dedication
This book is dedicated to all the employees, board members, stockholders and
supporters of Cybermotion over all the years. How I should ever have been lucky
enough to work with so many dedicated, talented, intelligent, humorous and
tenacious people I shall never know. All of the challenges we faced together have
produced these pages, I merely did the typing. In fairness, it must also be dedicated
to the long suffering spouses of the “Cyberdogs,” including my own wonderful wife
Sheilah.
