David Pogue emailed us about completing a new edition of his bestselling Mac OS X book:
Just thought I'd let you know that the second, Jaguar edition of "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual" is now available at Amazon for 30% off. At this moment,
it's the first and only Mac OS X 10.2 book available - and, I'm proud to say,
a doozie. It's 25% longer than the first edition, and covers everything,
including iCal, iSync, Rendezvous, Sherlock 3, Find File, Windows
networking, virtual private networking, the works. Even includes a "Where'd
It Go"? Dictionary for Windows switchers.
[Macintouch]Pogue is the best technology writer I've ever read. Completely refreshing. If you don't have an OS X book, buy this one. I own the earlier edition and am loving it.
