Acknowledgments for Ernest E. Rothman (Mac OS X for Unix Geeks)

0.8. Acknowledgments for Ernest E. Rothman

I would first like to thank Brian Jepson, who conceived the book and was generous enough to invite me to participate in its development. I would also like to express my gratitude to both Brian Jepson and Chuck Toporek for their encouragement, patience, stimulating discussions, and kindness. There are also many reviewers to whom I am grateful for useful suggestions and insights. I must also thank the visionary folks at Apple Computer for producing and constantly improving Mac OS X, as well as developers in the Mac OS X community who spend a great deal of their time writing applications and posting helpful insights on newsgroups, mailing lists, and web sites.

Finally, I wish to thank my lovely wife, Kim, for her love, patience, and encouragement and my Newfoundland dog, Samson (4/20/1991-4/19/2002), who was by my side during most of my efforts on this project but passed away before its completion. He will be forever in my heart.
