Colophon

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. Due to a wrist ailment you really don't want to hear about, the author wrote the chapters of this book by voice, using Dragon Naturally Speaking on a Micron PC. The book was created in Microsoft Word 2000, whose revision-tracking feature made life far easier as drafts were circulated from author to techincal and copy editors. TechSmith Software's SnagIt (www.techsmith.com) was used to capture illustrations; Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Freehand were called in as required for touching them up. The book was designed and laid out in Adobe PageMaker 6.5 on a Power Mac 8500 and Power Mac G3. The fonts used include Formata (as the sans-serif family) and Minion (as the serif body face). To provide the apple and figs command symbols, a custom font was created using Macromedia Fontographer. The index was created using EZ Index, a shareware indexing program by John Holder, available at www.northcoast.com/~jvholder. The book was then generated as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file for proof-reading, indexing, and final transmission to the printing plant.
