Product Description

Thoroughly updated, Mac OS X Panther Pocket Guide features a handy "Mac OS X Survival Guide," telling Mac® users what's changed from Mac OS 9, and helps Windows® and Unix® converts get acclimated to their new OS.

The book includes an overview of the System Preferences, as well as an introduction to the Unix shell and the Terminal application. This compact guide also includes a quick reference for creating special characters and a listing of basic keyboard commands. If you need to add or remove a user, correct preferences, log in, log out, tune the Dock, or change passwords, you'll find the information you need easily in a book that really can fit in your back pocket. With more than 250 tips and tricks, this practical, to-the-point book is a small but powerful resource for unleashing the power of Mac OS X Panther.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not too helpful for Windows users, July 6, 2004

By	Alice M. Harrison (Thornton, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book on the recommendation of a Mac guru to help with learning to use a recently purchased iBook. I am a longtime and skilled PC user.

I can see where this book would be helpful to someone who was familiar with previous Mac OSes, but it did not spell things clearly enough for this poor Windows user. The book even recommends buying "Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual" instead of this book for Windows users.

The portions of the book that I have managed to wade through have been somewhat confusing due to typos, unclear labeling, and mislabeling, i.e. referring to a $ as a pound sign.

I generally consider O'Reilly books an excellent source to learn from, but this book was a disappointment.
