If you’re a Mac user, get ready to learn a lot and have a really good time doing it. Developed in cooperation with Apple Computer, this guide to Mac OS X Panther is loaded with real-world tips and techniques for making the most of this superior operating system-and occasionally, for making scrambled eggs. Behind it all is Andy Ihnatko, that Macintosh icon whose one-of-a-kind personality makes this book not only amazingly informative, but a whole lot of fun to read.
