 A joyride that breaks new ground in tech books! August 20, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Over the years I've acquired enough how-to computer books to supply tire chocks for all the airplanes at O'Hare. However, I've never owned a tech book quite like this: It's not only deep and insightful, but truly witty -- to the point where you're laughing out loud while Andy Ihnatko is indelibly wedging useful Panther information into your brain. I'd say this book aims for the sweet spot between the typical "Dummies-style" novice approach, and the much larger "Missing Manual." Thing is, Andy Ihnatko communicates just as well as David Pogue, and is way more entertaining in the process. This book (with a cool metallic cover, I might add), covers all aspects of Panther, from the interface and Dock, to security, Unix and beyond. It's even got a highly useful chapter called "20 Questions from My Aunt Estelle." Even if you've been using OS X for awhile, you'll discover scads of useful new information here, and will have a blast reading it. Who would guess that a computer book could be a fun to read as a novel? Encore!
