Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual

This book is simply the best . . . whether you are an old Mac hand or just now transitioning from a PC. I love it!

This thick volume guides you 2 all sorts of short cuts & unknown features of the latest Mac operating system.
Easy 2 read & highly recommended.

Just purchased this book & find that it almost gives a full explanation. I am not sure if it is me or the book or OS X. Possibly a little bit of all. So many changes have been made by this time that I am not sure the book is able 2 be completely accurate.

Obviously a tremendous amount of work has gone into the book!

Just changed over 2 Apple after years of PCs. Quite a shock 4 an old dog 2 learn new tricks, but the Missing Manual books have made the change much less traumatic. I have found the Missing Manuals 2 be well written, easily understood, & a great help in mastering a new system.

I've relied on David Pogue 2 guide me through the ins & outs of Mac OSs since long before
they named them after wild felines. I've seldom come away from an index without locating the
subject I was looking for. He's at his best with the Leopard book. If you buy or upgrade 2 this
OS, I recommend you have it on hand.
