Book Description
There's a new cat in town, and Mac OS X Tiger is the next big thing from Apple. The latest version of Mac OS X, Tiger is faster than its predecessors, and packs a host of new features including Spotlight, Dashboard, a totally new Mail application, Automator for making complex tasks simple, and many more. The Mac OS X Tiger Pocket Guide introduces you to the fundamental concepts of using Mac OS X Tiger. The book starts out with a quick run down of Tiger's cool new features, including the new RSS screen saver and the built-in dictionary/thesaurus you can use from any application. The Mac OS X Tiger Pocket Guide shows you how to use the Finder, the Dock, Expos , Spotlight, Dashboard, including tips, tricks, and keyboard shortcuts along the way. You'll learn how to configure your Tiger system using the System Preferences application, and also how to keep your Mac secure with things like FileVault, the Password Assistant, and Tiger's enhanced Firewall capabilities. And because Mac OS X Tiger is Unix-based, you'll also learn how to issue basic Unix commands using the Terminal application. This handy book has over 250 tips and tricks for using and configuring your Mac OS X system, and has been completely revised to cover Mac OS X Tiger. Chuck Toporek has been using Macs since 1988, and is the author of Inside .Mac. He lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife, cat, and far too many books.

Customer Reviews & Comments
The book is a really nice reference and the compact size makes it easy to carry around. OSX is much more than Aqua and there is OS X UNIX under the hood and it is amazingly friendly and accessible. Some people who had never used it before type commands and work with the operating system directly as a "cool guys" in movies! This book is very helpful and well written and it serves as a very nice reference. I paired this book with that "UNIX Essentials" DVD that is complete OS X UNIX course recorded, and this book and a video they contribute one another greatly. The book is very particular about many subjects and very well written.
