Mac OS X Snow Leopard: The Missing Manual by David Pogue, Pogue David
He has been profiled on "48 Hours" and "60 Minutes." Pogue's website is www.davidpogue.com and his Twitter screen name is Pogue. With more than 3 million books in print, he is one of the world's bestselling how-to authors. This must be the tippiest, trickiest Mac book ever written. He lives in Connecticut.. He wrote or co-wrote seven books in the "Dummies" series, and in 1999 he launched his own series of computer books called the Missing Manual series, which now includes more than 100 titles. Microsoft Exchange compatibility. If Apple wrote it, this book covers it. Power usage. A rewritten Finder. A 64-bit overhaul. Shortcuts. Security, networking, build-your-own Services, file sharing with Windows, even Mac OS X's Unix chassis-this one witty, expert guide makes it all crystal clear.David Pogue is the personal-technology columnist for "The New York Times". Undocumented surprises await on every page. Faster everything. All-new QuickTime Player. Snow Leopard Spots. Fortunately, David Pogue is back, with the humor and expertise that have made this the #1 bestselling Mac book for eight years straight. For a company that promised to "put a pause on new features," Apple sure has been busy-there's barely a feature left untouched in Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard." There's more speed, more polish, more refinement-but still no manual. This book demystifies the hundreds of smaller enhancements, too, in all 50 programs that come with the Mac: Safari, Mail, iChat, Preview, Time Machine. You get all the answers with jargon-free introductions to: Big-ticket changes.
