Mac OS X: Missing Manual ranks among the best books to have on your side when you explore the latest Macintosh operating system as an everyday user who wants to get a job, have a bit of fun, and feel part of the Mac community. David Pogue - a respected Mac authority and the old writer on the subject - is the perfect guide in this search, as its Mac-depth knowledge and ability to explain facts and procedures are adequate. The second edition of the popular book covers Mac OS X 10.2 and all the various new features, including Sherlock 3, iCal, iSync, and firewalls. Glossaries: one for a long time Mac users (this one answers such questions as where the Apple Extras folder is) and one for Windows users (to explain, for example, is equivalent to Ctrl-Alt-Delete on Mac). Unlike most books about Mac OS X, this one explores the basics of a UNIX-like (the Apple implementation is called Darwin) pretty thoroughly.
