Synopsis
Macintosh's tenth Operating System (or MacOS X) is, Langer tells us, a major revision, with the elimination of system extensions and control panels, a default set up for multiple users, new log out command, new system preference application, new default font, new window controls, etc. Langer (she's the author of many computer books) guides the reader through installation and other basics in the first chapters, then describes the Finder, file management, applications, software, TextEdit, printing, connecting to the Internet, using Sherlock, and setting system preferences, all with frequent screen shots for illustration.

From the Back Cover
The wait is over for Mac devotees: The radically redesigned Mac OS X is here. Because OS X is Apple's first all-new operating system since 1984, it doesn't matter whether you're a beginner or a longtime Mac user. You need Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide to walk you through this thoroughly modern OS and its liquid Aqua interface. In Mac OS X: VQS, veteran Mac author Maria Langer takes an easy, visual approach, giving you detailed, step-by-step instructions and plentiful screenshots on everything you need to know to install, configure,and use the OS and the software that comes with it. For those upgrading from the previous version, a special section showcases the similarities and differences between Mac OS X and its predecessor, Mac OS 9.
