Apple says that Mac OS X 10.3 introduces 150 new features--but that's not really
true. In fact, "Panther" includes many more than that. It's faster, more polished,
and much more efficient. But it still comes without a manual.
With 300,000 copies in print, the first two versions of this book became industry
bestsellers. Now David Pogue brings his humor and expertise to this completely
rewritten, greatly expanded edition. It covers:
- Getting started. The early chapters demystify the Dock, windows,
and the unfamiliar Mac OS X folder structure--an ideal introduction.
- New technologies. Mac OS X 10.3 brings breakthroughs in window management
(Expose, the Sidebar); security (File Vault, Secure Empty Trash); and productivity
(faxing, Fast User Switching).
- Bonus software. Panther comes with over 50 free programs--and this
book gives you expertise in all of them. This beefed-up edition includes all-new
mini-manuals on iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, iChat AV, and Safari.
- Basics of Unix. You can completely ignore Panther's Unix core. But
if the command line intrigues you, this book offers a gentle introduction.
- Finding familiar features. Two "Where'd It Go?" Dictionaries make
it easy for Mac OS 9 and Windows refugees to look up a traditional feature--and
find out where it went in Mac OS X 10.3.
As always, Mac OS X: The Missing Manual offers warm, witty writing, and
bursts with the shortcuts, surprises, and design touches that make the Mac the
most passionately championed computer in the world.
