Pogue's 'Missing Manual' updated for Jaguar
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
October 11th 2002
The master of Mac OS minutia has tuned this 'must-have' book
Jaguar's over 150 new features making it an entirely different animal than its
predacessors -- it's faster, more powerful and more customizable. Though a manual
doesn't ship in the box, David Pogue's Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Second Edition
fills that void with aplomb. This latest edition of the $29.95 book has been
completely rewritten and expanded to reflect the changes in the new OS.
"Just about every page has new material on it," Pogue says in a press release. "In
addition to Jaguar's 150 new features, there are literally hundreds of tiny tweaks,
rejiggered keystrokes and restructured dialog boxes."
The first edition of this book was the No. 1 bestselling computer book of 2002,
selling 100,000 copies in six months. With new material on almost every page, this
second edition offers a wealth of detail on the numerous changes in X.2. Pogue
includes new chapters on iChat, Sherlock 3, and the freshly-burnished Finder.
With his usual dash of humor and plain-speech technical insight, Pogue delves into
features under the hood, such as the networking tools that allow Macs and PCs to swap
files on a network.
With its solid Unix foundation and attractive Apple-designed user interface, Mac OS X
is a nearly crash-proof system that has reinvigorated Macintosh computers, attracted
Unix software developers, and brought a steady stream of refugees from Windows. Mac OS
X was a stunning achievement when it was released in 2001, and Jaguar is another leap
forward.
Additional information about the book, including its Table of Contents, index, author
bio and samples is available here.
Amazon offers this tome for about $9 off the SRP. Details and ordering information can
be had here.
Editor's note: If you're new to X or Jaguar, this is the book to get. Mac users of
every stripe from hardcore command-line, alpha geeks to rank beginners all recommend
Pogue's tome -- his appeal and breadth of knowledge are just that good, accessible.
