Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual

This is the best book you will ever need for your new Mac. Everything you need help with is in this book. Plane and simple!

I have used computers since the days of the TRS-80 and CP/M machines, but had never used a MAC. My wife had a MAC with OS-9 and wanted a new machine. This book has allowed me to becoane a quasi MAC expert in a few weeks.

Excellent book. This is the best of its kind for the Mac and I highly recommend it to anyone who owns a Mac. If you don't own a Mac, buy this book; then, you will have that much more reason to get a Mac.

This book contains everything you need to know about OS X. It is also a pretty good read, as manuals go.

I won't go into too many details, except to say I've read nearly the entire book, except for a few sections on apps and the Automator, which I will get to eventually. His book is packed with little gems. I only wish my mind could hold them all. I know I've forgotten a few such as how to set the delay on opening subfolders.

OS X is a fabulous operating system. You owe it to yourself to master it. Things like the automator, and scripting (and the UNIX kernel) are what brought me to this OS. I was not disappointed. As a long time Solaris user, I find I love the GUI and the kernel is stout. The only thing I don't like are things like trying to delete locked files--what a PITA. Fortunately, others of the faithful, have created solutions to all the OS X weaknesses. I found an application to unlock entire folders---or lock them.

This is the only book you will need on OS X. No need to look for tips and tricks elsewhere--it is all in here. Keep a pile of sticky tabs to mark all the cool stuff, and wade in. If you spend a chapter a night for a few weeks, and try out what you've read the next day, you will remember most of it.

Enjoy!
