1 Mac OS X Hands-On Training is the Best of the Bunch
I've been a Mac guy for years, running good old dependable, only crashes sometimes, System 9. But I finally broke down (after my aging PowerBook did) and bought an iBook 700 with a fast (when I bought it) G3 processor, running System X, Jaguar. And after a couple weeks stumbling through the new, but not as intuitive could have been, operating system, I bought a couple books. Fortunately, this was one of them. If you are running Jaguar, this is the only book you'll need. You'll find simple exercises here, some a little more complicated. You'll find a little humor and you'll find all the help you'll ever need. As far as I'm concerned, among all of the Jaguar books out there, this book is the best of the bunch. A terrific two thumbs up from me.

2 The only Mac OS X book you will ever need!
I became a Mac convert in 1986 while editing a magazine (Living Among Nature Daringly) but overseas work forced me to switch to a Windows-driven PC 18 months ago. At that time I was using Mac OS 9.

Thus, I had to learn more complicated procedures for getting my prime writing and editing done.

During that 18 months I went bonkers with almost daily freeze-ups and system crashes. Finally, exasperated, I surrendered and bought a Mac iBook in Cairo, Egypt, even though almost no individual in this country uses one.

This iBook is running on Jaguar. In other words, it runs on system 9 (of which I am well-experienced), and system X in which I have not a clue! To make a long story short, I bought Mac OS X Jaguar Hands-on Training because I was having troubles trying to re-learn 9 and to learn to use X in a manner similar to 9.

The explanation of the differences between 9 and X helped bail me out of deep schisms I was falling towards.

The training in iLife programs, especially iTunes, iPhoto and iCalendar has given a deep appreciation for Apple - the corporation that knows how to provide a real system and computer for people who want to get a mission accomplished instead of impressing folks with how computer literate they are. In other words, engineers will use Windows, managers, writers and editors will use Mac.

This book is a quick read despite its 800-plus pages. The included lessons and examples on the accompanying CD are extremely helpful, especially for my wife, Dina, who has never used a MAC!

Allow me to use a metaphor. God made man in His image. Eventually, man made computers in his image - that is the MAC.

Mac is a Godsend. Mac OS X Hands-On Training is my first choice for learning to use a computer that acts like a human.

Bottom line: buy the best book for most easily learning the best computer operating system!

• Teach Yourself Visually: Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar

	"Many have seen Topaxci, God of the Red Mushroom, and they earn the

name of shaman," he said.  Some have seen Skelde, spirit of the smoke, and

they are called sorcerers.  A few have been privileged to see Umcherrel, the

soul of the forest, and they are known as spirit masters.  But none have

seen a box with hundreds of legs that looked at them without eyes, and they

are known as idio--"

	The interruption was caused by a sudden screaming noise and a flurry

of snow and sparks that blew the fire across the dark hut; there was a brief

blurred vision and then the opposite wall was blasted aside and the

apparition vanished.

	There was a long silence.  Then a slightly shorter silence.  Then

the old shaman said carefully, "You didn't just see two men go through

upside down on a broomstick, shouting and screaming at each other, did you?"

	The boy looked at him levelly.  "Certainly not," he said.

	The old man heaved a sigh of relief.  "Thank goodness for that," he

said.  "Neither did I."
