September 2010.
Writing a book is a tremendous effort, even if you know what you want to
write (and I didn’t some of the time). It wasn’t possible without the support
of my family: my wife Idit, and my kids, Daniel and Amit, and the latest
recruit, Yoav. Thank you for the making the time and more than that – thank
you for the support and encouragement along the way. It’s certainly easy to
give up, but you wouldn’t let me – so thank you again!
