Colophon
This book was written on several computers, including a black MacBook laptop that remained attached to David Pogue like an appendage and J.D. Biersdorfer’s trusty silver MacBook Pro. It was originally typed in Microsoft Word, with substantial assistance from the typing-shortcut program TypeIt4Me (www.typeit4me.com) and the macro program QuicKeys (www.quickeys.com). Later revisions were written directly in Adobe InDesign CS3.
The book’s screen illustrations were captured with Ambrosia Software’s Snapz Pro X (www.ambrosiasw.com), edited in Adobe Photoshop CS3 (www.adobe.com), and overlaid with labels, lines, and circles in Macromedia Freehand Mac OS X.
The book was designed and laid out in Adobe InDesign CS3 on a Mac Pro G5 Intel. The fonts
include Formata (as the sans-serif family) and Minion (as the serif body face). To provide the
symbols (
, ⌘, 
, and so on), Phil Simpson designed two custom fonts using
Macromedia Fontographer.
The book was then exported as Adobe Acrobat PDF files for final transmission to the printing plant in Canada.
