This review is from: Inside Macintosh (Apple Technical Library) (Paperback)

I was searching for a book which gives me all details about the operating system. Book which does not go too technically but something which could be understood by those who have some basic knowledge about how operating systems work and the like. More figures if added to the initial chapters could have added to the understanding. Overall, this is very good book whether you are a student who wants to learn about the operating system or a programmer who wants to write applications for it.
