The Mac world is full of acronyms, abbreviations and terminology that can be confusing to the novice and expert alike. Sharon Zardetto, the co-author of Take Control: The Mac OS X Lexicon, talks about the challenge of creating a reference tome that helps make sense of it all while remaining entertaining and useful in ways that a normal lexicon isn’t. She shares some examples from the book, (Do you know why a standard CD holds 74 minutes of audio?), discusses how she and co-author Andy Baird kept the size of the book down to a manageable level while still covering an amazing number of terms, and why this is the perfect companion to any other Take Control book you may already own.
