Special thanks to everyone at Apple who helped us turn this book around so quickly: Katie Cotton, Natalie Kerris, Steve Dowling, Greg (Joz) Joswiak, John Richey, Keri Walker, Teresa Brewer, Natalie Harrison, Monica Sarkar, Tom Neumayr, Jennifer Bowcock, Janette Barrios, and everyone else. We couldn't have done it without you. We apologize if we missed anybody.

Big-time thanks to the gang at Wiley: Bob "I need it yesterday" Woerner, Jodi "I'm calm now, really" Jensen, Susan "who said you could eat?" Pink, Andy "The Boss" Cummings, Barry "Still no humorous nickname" Pruett, and our technical editor, Dennis R. Cohen, who also has no humorous nickname but did a rocking job in record time, as always. We also want to thank our invaluable proofreader, Debbye Butler, who did a tremendous job. Debbye patriotically stood (or sat) at the ready over the Fourth of July weekend waiting for us to deliver our files. Editorial assistant Amanda Graham also deserves our thanks. She handled a bevy of last-minute tasks with panache. 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.

Bob adds: Thanks also to super-agent Carole "Still the Swifty Lazar of Tech Agentry" Jelen, for deal-making beyond the call of duty, yet again. You've been my agent for more than 20 years and you're still the best. And thanks also to my family and friends for putting up with me throughout my hibernation during this book's gestation. Finally, thanks to Saccone's for killer New Jersey–style thin-crust pizza, The Iron Works, and Black's for BBQ beyond compare, Chuy's for burritos as big as yo' face, Torchy's Tacos for the most unusual and tasty tacos ever, Mighty Fine for good, cheap, tasty burgers, and Diet Vanilla Coke Zero and Diet Red Bull because they're the breakfast of champions (and tech writers).

Ed adds: Thanks to my agent Matt Wagner for again turning me into a For Dummies author. It is a privilege to be working with a first-class guy and true professional. I'd also like to thank Jim Henderson, Geri Tucker, Nancy Blair, and the rest of my USA TODAY friends and colleagues (in and out of the Money section) for your enormous support and encouragement. 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.

And finally, thanks to you, gentle reader, for buying our book.
