From the introduction:
“Some of you may be rolling your eyes right now; all computers use thefile and folder concept and some sort of colorful user interface, sothere couldn’t be that much difference between Mac OS X and itscompetitors, right? Wrong. I don’t just say this because of some blinddevotion to all things Apple; I’ve actually used different flavors ofWindows and Linux for more than 13 years, right alongside my trustyMac, so experience has been my teacher. If I have any devotion toApple, there are plenty of good reasons why, the subject of this bookbeing the first. Readers of this book who are already Mac usersunderstand exactly what I’m talking about. For those of you moving fromother computing platforms, it’s my desire that by the end of this bookyou will have a whole new perspective on computing and see what itmeans to really have fun while working with your computer. In Mac OS XLeopard Portable Genius you can learn not just the basics, but thesubtle nuances and little tips and tricks that make using your Mac thatmuch easier. I’ve covered the gamut, from printing files, surfing theInternet and using e-mail, to partitioning your hard drive, automatingrepetitive tasks, and using UNIX commands, with just a little bit ofgeeky humor thrown in for good measure. I hope this book will dojustice to Mac OS X Leopard, which isn’t just a computer operatingsystem; it’s an art form.”
