| Mac OS X has captured the attention of consumers and
programmers alike with its ability to run existing Mac
programs along with Unix and Open Source software. The
latest version, Panther, includes more than a hundred new
features and improves many of the technologies underlying
Mac OS X, including graphics and the Unix-based core. With
more than 500 power tips and tricks for Mac aficionados like
yourself, Mac OS X Power Hound, Panther Edition helps you
unleash the power of Panther.
Mac OS X Panther is a complex and powerful operating system
with a personality all its own. To make your computing
experience with Panther as efficient and enjoyable as
possible, you need to learn its secrets, appreciate its
idiosyncrasies, and be able to customize it to your needs
and wants. Author Rob Griffiths shows you how.
Creator and editor of the extremely popular Mac OS X Hints
Web site (www.macosxhints.com), Griffiths knows Panther
inside and out. His Mac OS X Power Hound lifts the hood on
the sleek and elegant, Formula-One-powered operating system
and delivers over 500 high-octane secrets in every
conceivable category, including the Desktop and Finder,
iApps, Mac OS X programs, Mastering the system and Terminal,
and much more.
Consider this book your pit crew, helping you find easier,
faster, and better ways of using the Finder, the Dock, the
assortment of programs that come with Mac OS X, and a bunch
of programs that don't. And if you want to become your own
master mechanic, it also includes two rich chapters on Unix,
the engine under Mac OS X's hood.
With this collection of stand-alone hints, notes, tips, and
tricks--every one of them organized, indexed, tested for
compatibility with the latest version of Mac OS X 10.3, and,
in many cases, illustrated--you'll rapidly progress from an
anybody-can-do-this user to a power user.
