Acknowledgments

The Missing Manual series is a joint venture between the dream team introduced on these pages and O'Reilly Media: Tim O'Reilly, Mark Brokering, and company.

I'm grateful to all of them, and also to a few people who did massive favors for this book. They include Joseph Schorr, who wrote the original version of Chapter 6; John Rizzo, technical editor for the first edition; Brook Stein, Apple's "Switch" guru; John Cacciatore for his proofreading smarts; and Lesa Snider, beta-reader extraordinaire. Thanks to David Rogelberg for believing in the idea, and above all, to Jennifer, Kelly, Tia, and Jeffrey, who make these booksand everything elsepossible.

David Pogue

I would like to acknowledge , as always, my parents and sister. During the work on this book, their tolerance for my hours writing and editing was within a few percentage points of perfect. Without that (and without the complimentary food and shelter), this book never would have been possible.

I would also like to thank the entire team that brought this book to fruition. In particular, I would like to thank David Pogue, who gave me the amazing opportunity to work on a real Missing Manual once againand who was responsible for most of the writing, editing, and screen photography in this book. And I'll never forget: It was David's example that inspired me to start writing books in the first place. Thanks for reading!
