Résumé
Just the guy to help you make your Tiger roar
The new cat's out of the bag, and Andy Ihnatko gives you a hundred reasons to fall in love with the Tiger. Packed with sage advice-and plenty of humor-this beefy volume holds your hand through installing Tiger, helps you diagnose and cure common problems, introduces you to more shortcuts than you ever imagined, and provides tips on everything from using Spotlight to choosing a tattoo. It's not only the greatest Mac OS X guide ever, it's surely the most entertaining.
Exciting new chapters on
- Automator-your servant for boring-yet-complex tasks
- Spotlight-to find anything on your Mac instantly
- Dashboard-a pile of useful tools just a keystroke away
- Troubleshooting step by step-amaze your friends!
"Here, I'm going to help you out before you even start leafing through this thing. If you run an $8 FireWire cable between a pair of Macs running Tiger, the OS automatically creates an ultra-high-speed network between the two, with zero help from you. It's one of the easiest and quickest ways to swap files or play network games, and you can even use this mini network to 'share' an Internet connection!
"See? Have the other books' authors done so much for you at this stage? Please keep this in mind as you make your purchasing decision."

L'auteur - Andy Ihnatko
Andy Ihnatko describes himself as “the world’s
42nd most-beloved industry personality” because
“it’s vaguely credible but utterly impossible to
prove or disprove, and thus precisely the sort of tagline I was
looking for.” An unabashed geek (“The bashings ended
when I left high school for Rensselaer Polytechnic, thank
God”), Andy’s been writing about tech since 1989. In
the past, he’s written for every single magazine or website
with the word “Mac” in it, highlighted by 10 years as
MacUser and then Macworld’s back-page opinion columnist.
He’s currently the Chicago Sun-Times’ technology
columnist.
In his pursuit of “heroically stupid applications of
technology,” Andy has built an animatronic Darth Vader doll
that could be controlled over the Internet via telepresence to
hassle his roommate’s cats and written and published a
complete set of plans and instructions for converting any
Classic-style Macintosh into a fully functional 2.5-gallon
aquarium. “The Original MacQuarium” was one of the
Internet’s first e-Books and can be downloaded from several
sites after a quick Google search.
This is Andy’s fourth book. Andy lives in Boston with his
two goldfish, Click and Drag. He invites you to visit his aptly
named “Colossal Waste Of Bandwidth” at
