Authors' Acknowledgments

Special thanks to everyone at Apple who helped us turn this book around so quickly: Natalie Kerris, Teresa Brewer, Trudy Muller, Keri Walker, Andy Bowman, Christine Monaghan, and everyone else who lent a hand from the mother ship in Cupertino. We couldn't have done it without you and apologize to anyone we left out.

Big-time thanks to the gang at Wiley: Susan “The Power's Out Again” Pink, Andy “The Boss” Cummings, our incredible technical editor Jim Kelly, whose suggestions and observations helped immensely (even the ones we ignored), and our invaluable proofreader, Debbye Butler, who did a tremendous job. Finally, thanks to everyone at Wiley we don't know by name. If you helped with this project in any way, you have our everlasting thanks.

Ed adds: Thanks to my agent, Matt Wagner, who had the right instinct to push this book, even back when we were calling the first edition of this book Project X For Dummies. I'd also like to thank Nancy Blair, Jefferson Graham, Eli Blumenthal, and all my USA TODAY friends and colleagues for your continuing support and encouragement of such projects. Most of all, thanks to my loving family for understanding my nightly (and weekend) disappearances as we raced to get this project completed on time. You are quite simply the greatest.

And Bob says: Extra special thanks to Carole “Swifty” Jelen of Waterside Productions, my literary agent for more than 25 years. I don't say this often enough: You freakin' rock, Swifty!
