Résumé
The latest system software for the resurgent Macintosh
platform is Mac OS 9, which includes over 50 new features.
Despite the long list of enhancements, however, Apple ships
Mac OS 9 without one of the most important features of all:
a manual. O'Reilly/Pogue Press comes to the rescue with
Mac OS 9: the Missing Manual. Award-winning author
David Pogue brings his humor and expertise to Mac OS 9 for
the first time in this lucid, impeccably written guide.
Readers will appreciate the step-by-step guides to setting
up small networks, the tutorials on Mac OS 9's new Multiple
Users control panel, and the coverage of Mac OS 9's
speech-recognition, color printing, digital video, and
self-updating software features. Along the way, Pogue
communicates the joy of using the little shortcuts,
drag-and-drop surprises, and elegant design touches that
make the Mac the most passionately championed computer in
the world.
About the Missing Manual series: Microsoft does it. Apple does it. Adobe, Netscape, and FileMaker do it. Almost every major software company, in fact, sells increasingly sophisticated software without a printed manual. To cut costs and save production time, today's software companies don't offer physical instruction manuals at all. Instead, you're expected to learn these complex programs by reading electronic help screens. One technical writer finally became inspired enough to do something about the problem. David Pogue, author of the bestselling PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide, has teamed with O'Reilly to launch a new imprint, Pogue Press, dedicated to producing beautifully written manuals for popular consumer software and hardware products. O'Reilly/Pogue Press is pleased to introduce its new line: the Missing Manual Series.
