"Many, many thanks go to Melinda Spencer,
who edited my funny English, still prone to
my German upbringing and sentence structure,
which to this day I can’t get rid of. Thanks
to her, you will actually be able to read
and comprehend this book.”

“This is to recommend Melinda
Spencer as a technical writer. Melinda joined the Microsoft Windows 98
Web team several weeks before the launch of the upgraded operating
system. She entered a hectic environment and proved capable of
handling shifting schedules, sparse direction, and intense daily
pressure. In short, her support on this project made it not only
successful, but also much more pleasurable.”
