Summary: Pogue hits another homerun!
Comment: David Pogue is one of the best technical authors of our time, and once again he hits a homerun!
I've been using Mac OS X as my primary operating system for the last month, and I've had absolutely no trouble learning Mac OS X in record time. It's such a great operating system... so elegant, so user-friendly, so intuitive, so crash-resistant.
And so I wondered, "Okay... do I really need to purchase David Pogue's manual on Mac OS X? I mean, I have a really firm grasp on the OS to begin with!"
And as I started reading the book, the answer became a resounding YES! Before I had even finished the first chapter, I had already learned dozens of new tips, tricks, secrets, explanations, and reasonings that I did not know! Stuff that I didn't REALIZE I wanted to know until I read them in Pogue's book.
And as always, Pogue's breezy, friendly, & cheerful writing style makes this manual read like a gripping novel. You can read this from cover-to-cover without ever losing interest.
This book is a must read. It should come bundled with every copy of Mac OS X.

Summary: Pogue bats a thousand... again!
Comment: If you really want to get going with OS X v 10.2.x, this second edition of David Pogue's Missing Manual for Mac OSX really delivers!
I have ordered several manuals for the mac updated to OS X Jaguar. I haven't found a question yet that Pogue's "Missing Manual" hasn't addressed fully, unlike the Jaguar ed. of the Little Black Book, which was nice, but brief, and often didn't even begin to address problems encountered with very common administration procedures, like setting capabilities and permissions for different user accounts. I had to go to Apple Tech Support, because I didn't yet have Pogue's "Missing Manual," which actually, was even more helpful than Apple's tech support!!
The index (20 pages!!!) has actually had an entry for every single hitch I've come up against. Even the Mac OS X online help doesn't do that! Just try typing in "sudo" to the online help and see what you get! The troubleshooting guide is a dream come true for anyone who's been flying by the seat of the pants since the day Jaguar was released! I've been able to solve problems left and right that I've just had to ignore since I went Jag because there was no manual in the box, the other manuals I got didn't help, and Apple care tech support didn't have the info, either! This is a technically direct and accessable encyclopedia of simple how-to info that will even give you the geeky "why-or-how-it works" if you really want to know. It will tell you all the incredible and powerful things your OS X 10.2.x can do that you didn't know until now. And, unlike the Mac onboard help, it will also tell you HOW you can get there from here!!
And besides that, it's fun! David Pogue has a long history of lightening you up while you're in the often desperate search of MacEnlightenment! You get high tech, direct help with ease of use and enjoyable reading. Who could ask for more? I'm recommending it to everymacuser I talk to!
If you really want to rev your new Jag, and you're only getting one manual, go with this one- the Missing Manual for Mac OS X, second edition. It's incredibly well written, jam packed full of useful and FINDABLE help, appropriately humorous, and best of all, it will actually ship when you order it!!!

Summary: Sick of "Help FIles"? Yes you are.
Comment: Apple simply doesn't include a manual with their computers. The whole "Help" thing is better than it used to be, but it is still a JOKE if you need real help with something complicated. David Pogue is not exaggerating with his title. You need this book, especially now that OS ten has landed, and taken over. Just get this book when you get your new apple and get it over with, you will save yourself a world of grief. Just do it!
