You can set your watch to it: As soon as Apple comes out with another version of Mac OS X, David Pogue hits the streets with another meticulous Missing Manual to cover it with a wealth of detail. The new Mac OS X 10.4, better known as Tiger, is faster than its predecessors, but nothing's too fast for Pogue and "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual." There are many reason

I got this upon the purchase of my first Mac. Although I'm fairly comfortable with computers, my whole life experience up to that moment was based on DOS/Windows, with the exception of a few classes I took on Bioinformatics, where I learned very basic UNIX.

I actually almost started reading this like a novel. Everything about my new Mac is so pretty, it's really interesting to see what all it can do. And the prose of this is very accessible.

Basically, if you're new to the Mac and you want to know all of its hidden capabilities, this is a good place to start. Just beware because there is a lot of discussion about the differences between this version and the older version (Mac OS 9). Simply gloss over these parts.

As a long-time PC user and relatively new Mac convert, I found this book to be invaluable. David Pogue writes an instruction manual that is fun to read. I keep it on my desk to help me learn more about my MacBook Pro, and the Mac OS X.

In my opinion this book is the best of the missing manual series. Everything the average mac user and even the beginner would like to know about using their computer.

Recommends it for: Anyone Using OS X Tiger
Excellent book. Not dry. The author had a great sense of humor about everything computers. Very nearly as entertaining as it is informative.

This book has kept me sane while I transitioned from PC to Apple. Now I love my iMac instead of wanting to throw it out the window!
