Colophon

Colophon

This book was written on a 13-inch MacBook Pro that remained attached to David Pogue like an appendage. It was typed in Microsoft Word, with substantial assistance from the typing-shortcut program TextExpander (www.smileonmymac.com).

The book’s screen illustrations were captured with Ambrosia Software’s Snapz Pro X (www.ambrosiasw.com), edited in Adobe Photoshop CS5 (www.adobe.com), and overlaid with labels, lines, and circles in Adobe Illustrator.

The author composed the index, entry by entry, using a highly tweaked FileMaker database and a clever Perl script that converted FileMaker’s output into a fully formatted index.

The book was designed and laid out in Adobe InDesign CS4 on a MacBook Pro and Mac Pro. The fonts include Formata (as the sans-serif family) and Minion (as the serif body face). To provide the symbols (, ⌘, , and so on), Phil Simpson designed two custom fonts using FontLab Fontographer.
