Acknowledgments


To the following people on the Special Edition Using Mac OS X, v10.4 Tiger project team, my sincere appreciation for your hard work on this book:

Laura Norman, my acquisitions and development editor, who helped me get the focus of the first edition of this book on track when I had gone astray and kept me in line the rest of the way. She also made sure that I kept the text flowing when we revised this tome for Mac OS X version 10.4. Laura, getting through such a big book with me as the author four times should earn you a medal of some kind!

Marta Justak of Justak Literary Services, my agent, for getting me signed up for this project. Marta was also a constant source of support for me during the process and was always ready to lend an ear to listen to whatever I needed to say. Marta, many times I needed to bounce an idea or complaint off someonethanks for being there for me!

Brian Hubbard, my technical editor, who did a great job to ensure that the information in this book is both accurate and useful. Brian, I tried my best to sneak mistakes past you, but you caught me every timethanks for a job well done!

Megan Wade, my copy editor, who corrected my many misspellings, poor grammar, and other problems. Megan, you made the text appear to have been written by someone who actually knows how to write. Thanks!

Tonya Simpson, my project editor, who skillfully managed the hundreds of files that it took to make this book. Tonya, thanks for keeping everything current and making sure that things got where they needed to be when they needed to be there.

Anne Jones, for the interior design and cover of the book. You made this book a pleasure to look at! Also, a thanks for developing the book's cover. It is too bad that you can't judge a book by its cover because, if you could, everyone would believe that this book is top-notchthanks!

Que's production and sales team for printing the book and getting it into your hands. Thanks, everybody!

And now for a few people who weren't on the project team, but who were essential to me personally:

Amy Miser, for supporting me while I took on this mammoth project for the fourth time and for being understanding about my need to do it yet one more time; living with an author isn't always lots of fun, especially with a big, complex book like this one. Amy, I promise, no more big booksuntil the next one! ;-)

Jill, Emily, and Grace Miser, for helping me remember that there is a lot more to life than pounding the keyseven though sometimes it seemed as if that was all I was doing. Girls, you brought lots of smiles to my face in stressful times. Thanks for reminding me of what is really important. And, a special thanks to Buddy the guinea pig for his early-morning visits to cheer me up while I was working!

Rick Ehrhardt for being such a good friend to me; I especially appreciate the occasional evening outLa Hacienda and Best Buy anyone?
