The Missing Manual series is a joint venture between Pogue Press (the dream team
introduced on these pages) and O’Reilly & Associates (a dream publishing partner).
I’m indebted, as always, to Tim O’Reilly, Mark Brokering, Cathy Record, and the rest
of the gang.
I’m also grateful to proofreaders Jennifer Barber, Chuck Brandstater, Stephanie En-
glish, and Danny Marcus; to Erik Ryan and Kevin Browne of the Microsoft Macintosh
Business Unit; the cheerful and gifted indexing team of Johnna and Tom Dinse; and
to David Rogelberg for believing in the idea. And above all, thanks to Jennifer, Kelly,
and Tia, who make these books—and everything else—possible.
—David Pogue
The Missing Manual Series
Missing Manual books are designed to be superbly written guides to computer prod-
ucts that don’t come with printed manuals (which is just about all of them). Each
book features a handcrafted index, cross-references to specific page numbers (not
just “see Chapter 14”), and an ironclad promise never to use an apostrophe in the
possessive word its. Current and upcoming titles include:
