Acknowledgments

Schoun Regan Special thanks to Dave Pugh, LeRoy Dennison, Joel Rennich, Rebecca Freed, Robyn Thomas, and Hannah Onstad Latham.

Thanks to John Signa, Steve Brokaw, and Shane Ross for all their assistance.

I would also like to thank David Long, Simon Wheatley, André LaBranche, and Sohail Mamdani for all their tireless help.

Finally, a sincere and dear thank you to Juan Fernandez, Apple Enterprise System Engineer of the year for 2007. A well-deserved accolade. You earned it and I’m proud to call you my good friend.

Dave Pugh This book would not be possible without the continued support of everyone in the Mac community. Everyone plays their part in moving the OS forward by using it, improving it, creating products for it, and just plain standing behind it. I would especially like to salute those who actively promote the Mac platform: the publishers and their support staff, conference speakers, mailing list participants, and other authors, including those who are no longer with us. I would especially like to thank Schoun Regan for all of the opportunities he has given me. Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today, and would never be able to get to where I’ll be tomorrow. Lastly, I can’t give enough thanks to my wife, Amanda. She pushes me to be the best that I can be, and stands beside me through all of life’s ups and downs. It is with her that I have shared the best experiences of my life—experiences that would not have happened without everything she has done for me.
