Acknowledgments

I would like to acknowledge all the work done by the developers, project managers, analysts, and others on the Mac OS X team. They've created something wonderful in this stable, secure, and speedy little OS. I've had a great deal of fun and joy working with it, which is more than most people can say when it comes to computing.

Special thanks to Jenny Watson for being such a joy to work with. Even more thanks to Bill Bridges, who took my calls, answered my questions, and kept things moving forward even when it looked like we were going to become permanently stuck in the weeds.

I wouldn't have been able to work on this book if it weren't for my ever-loving and ever-patient wife, Hope. Your name says it all—you fill my life with hope and joy and love and...well, everything. Thanks for being such a champ.
