Overview
So you're finally ready to find out what all the fuss is about.
Whether you're switching from Windows or upgrading from an older
Mac OS, this task-based guide represents the surest way to go from
0 to 60 in no time flat with Apple's much anticipated Mac OS X
Tiger--more mature, powerfully enhanced, and with more than 200 new
features that will knock your socks off. In this thoroughly revised
bestseller, Maria Langer walks readers through the process of
installing and configuring Tiger, then introduces the Mac OS
desktop, including the Dock and the Sidebar, before moving on to
more advanced Finder techniques, application basics, printing and
faxing, connecting to the Internet, account management, configuring
your Mac for multiple users, and more. Weighing in at over 700
pages, this new edition also offers plenty of coverage on what's
new in Mac OS X Tiger, including Spotlight, the search tool that
helps you find anything on your Mac instantly; multi-way video in
iChat AV; the enhanced Mail application; Automator, which lets you
automate repetitive manual tasks; Tiger's ultra-useful
mini-applications (known as "Dashboard Widgets"); and more. Rounded
out with plenty of tips, tricks, and sage advice, this book is
equally useful for Macintosh novices as well as early adopters
looking for a comprehensive reference on what's new in this
much-talked-about Mac OS upgrade.
