Customer Reviews

a wonderful book.

This book is wonderful when it comes to telling about different shareware I could load onto my Mac, lots of different tweaks, great humor. Best of all this book helped me regain sanity, by telling me I could reboot, then click and hold my mouse button down to force-eject a CD when no operating system is installed. It's still not David Pogue's OS X: The Missing Manual, but I will give Bob LeVitus credit for helping me out on that one!

Really useful and a great read!

I've been getting used to OS X Panther for about a month now, making slow, incremental progress with my comfort level and efficiency. I picked up this book yesterday, and WOW, what a difference! In just 24 hours I feel like I'm some kind of power user -- all thanks to this book, which explains how to streamline and customize Panther with cool, focused tips and some well-chosen shareware apps. And it's such a good read -- I love Dr. Mac's clear and easygoing style! I especially like the "What Other Power Users Think You Should Know" chapter. Great stuff!
