I'd like to thank Dr. David Munro, who inspired me, Ron Bieber, who believed in me and introduced me to the world of distributed databases, and my lovely wife, Coriene, who provided constant support and encouragement during this endeavor. Seriously, without Coriene none of this would have been possible.
