Special Thanks to

My patient editor, Cliff Colby, who instigated and shepherded this project to completion, made my work better, and encouraged me when a very challenging schedule seemed overwhelming.

Thanks to Katerina Malone, for her excellent production work.

Thanks to the book’s compositors, Danielle Foster and David Van Ness, and thanks to Rebecca Plunkett for the index.

Thanks to Peachpit’s Nancy Ruenzel and Nancy Davis for their support.

My appreciation to my friends and colleagues at Macworld magazine for doing all that testing of iCloud features and writing about it. I’d especially like to single out Jason Snell, Serenity Caldwell, Dan Frakes, Lex Friedman, and Ted Landau for their excellent articles. Mistakes in this book are, of course, entirely my own.

Thanks to Nenad Rondovic (AKA burekbrigada on Elance) for creating a Microsoft Word macro that allowed me to complete this project faster.
