About this book

This book was written entirely in Microsoft Word 2004 for Macintosh on a Mac mini and, occasionally, a PowerBook G4. Judy did her editing in Word 2000 for Windows, and we successfully passed the files back and forth many times. The production team at Peachpit Press works mostly on Macs.

Other software used in the preparation of this book includes Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro X, which was used for all the screen shots. Cyberduck, a fine FTP client, handled uploads and downloads. Much of the text was run through Linguisoft's Grammarian style and grammar checker. NoteBook, from Circus Ponies, arrived in the nick of time to help with organizing the illustrations and writing captions, which were cut-and-pasted into the manuscript.
