Acknowledgments

Michael would like to express his thanks to Cliff Colby, who got this book going in a remarkably short time; to Kathy Simpson, who edited his discursive ramblings into something resembling coherent prose; and to the Engsts, who gave him the freedom to work on this project while he had so many other things on his plate.

Dennis would like to thank Apple for creating hardware (like the iPad) that is such a joy to use. Also, thanks to the purveyors of the third-party software that so wonderfully enhances Apple’s products—in particular, the iPad. Thanks, too, to Michael and Lisa for providing excellent collaboration on a really enjoyable title. Special thanks to Steven Mowry at the Spokane Apple Store who finally placed an iPad 2 in my anxious hands after my sixth morning waiting in line for a unit.

Lisa would like to thank Mac for food and fresh air, Michael for spiffy introductions and practical advice, and Kathy for making me look much better than I deserve.
