Dedication
This book is dedicated to our sons, John Paul Bove and James Eric Bove,
both of whom contributed tips and spent considerable time testing examples
while turning a vacation into a book project. These kids truly live the iLife
and should probably get a raise in their allowances, now that you bought this
book. Let’s send them to college — tell your Mac friends to buy this book!
Thank you.
Authors’ Acknowledgments
We want to thank our Wiley project editor, Beth Taylor, for having the patience
of a saint while pulling this project through the process on time. We also thank
Wiley copy editor Jean Rogers for her skills that made our job so much easier.
Many thanks to our technical editor, Lisa Spangenberg , for helping to make
this book both more useful and accurate. Thanks as well to Dennis Cohen for
contributing material to this book. We also thank Rich Tennant for his highly
amusing cartoons. A book of this size places a considerable burden on a pub-
lisher’s production team, and we thank the Composition Services crew at
Wiley for diligence beyond the call of reason.
We owe thanks and a happy hour or two to Carole McLendon at Waterside,
our agent. And we have acquisitions editor Bob Woerner at Wiley to thank for
coming up with the idea for this book and helping us to become professional
dummies — that is, For Dummies authors.
Finally, our heartfelt thanks to members of the Flying Other Brothers (Pete
Sears, Barry Sless, Jimmy Sanchez, Bill Bennett, Bert Keely, and Roger and
Ann McNamee) as well as Stacy Parrish, Howard Danchik, Vickie Garwacki,
Chris Flum, Paul Dulany, and DuCharme for letting us use their photographs
of the band.
