As author David Pogue notes in his introduction, "Mac OS X" is a misnomer--it isn't really the Mac OS at all; there's scarcely a single line of code in common with the older Mac OS. Hundreds of features have been removed, added, or moved around. Mac OS X: The Missing Manual illuminates both the big-ticket features and the fine points of Mac OS X version 10.1, including understanding its UNIX-like folder structure, setting up an office network, capitalizing on its rich Internet features, and even hacking the real power of the UNIX underbelly by summoning the command-line interface, using step-by-step "recipes." Mac OS X: The Missing Manual also covers, one by one, each of the control panels and bonus programs that comes with Mac OS X, including iTunes, Mail, Sherlock, and Apache, the built-in Web-server.
