Title: either surf chat groups or buy David Pogue's O'Reilley text
Review: Lots of fluff here. If the author had given actual tips and tricks, and technical detail as to why and how things work, AND how to fix them when they go wrong, rather than continuously extolling Mac OS X's capabilities, then I might recommend this book. Instead, he drones ad nauseam about Mac 10's virtues.A convenient browse at the library one afternoon for 2 hours of David Pogue's 'Mac OS X: The Missing Manual' provided me with numerous hints and tips that I was able to use immediately. The two books cost and weigh the same, yet the ratio of useful text to overall text in Mr. Pogue's book is nearly one, while I'd be hard pressed to even rate Mr. Feiler's text with 0.3. Text size is somewhat smaller in Mr. Pogue's book too, so you're getting lots more information, at a much higher degree of informativeness/utility.Why did I bother buying this book? It was the only one in the computer store when I bought my iBook! Drat!!
