MacOS 9: The Missing Manual (Taschenbuch)
von David Pogue

Rezensionen:

As its title indicates,Mac OS 9: The Missing Manualtouts itself as the guide that should have come with your copy of Apple's operating system. It certainly makes a strong case for that claim, as author David Pogue offers a wealth of information from the basics to some of OS 9's more esoteric functions.

The book is strongest in its detailed information on operating system components like the Apple menu and using OS 9's speech-recognition features. Pogue's explanations of standard, custom, and clean installations of OS 9 are similarly helpful, as is the partial list of the OS's compatibility problems. The troubleshooting guide isn't exhaustive, but the problems it does explore are handled in depth.

Unfortunately, Pogue refers too often to the pre-Mac and -Windows days when you had to type out a filename and multitasking hadn't yet become part of the computer vocabulary. It's not likely that many users today will be upgrading from a 286 DOS machine (remember those?) to an iMac. Pogue is better at explaining some of the subtle differences between Microsoft Windows and iMac conventions. Nonetheless, any Mac OS 9 user will find lots of useful information inThe Missing Manual--John Frederick Moore

When Apple released Mac OS 9 they proclaimed that the built-in online help was so good that you didn't need a printed manual.Mac OS 9: The Missing Manualby award-winningMacworldauthor David Pogue shows just how much Mac OS 9 users are missing through Apple's omission.Mac OS 9: The Missing Manualcovers all aspects of the Mac operating system in five main sections, describing the fine details of the Mac OS desktop, running and managing applications, understanding the myriad components that make up Mac OS 9, connecting to the Internet and networking your Mac.

Pogue's humorous style combined with detailed descriptions and screen-shots direct from the Mac make even the book's more technical sections easy to follow. You are encouraged to explore functions of the Mac that you may think you know well--such as desktop window views and file lists--to uncover the hidden features and tricks that enable you to use your Mac more efficiently. Moreover,The Missing Manualshows how to unlock the power of the 50 or so new features of Mac OS 9, such as Sherlock 2 and the Keychain, which even experienced Mac users may have neglected.

All the additional software referred to in this manual is available for download from theMissing ManualWeb site. No CD-Rom is included--which, as the author points out, makes for a more affordable book. If you are new to the Macintosh, or if you have just upgraded to Mac OS 9, this book is an essential introduction to the capabilities, tricks and time-saving features. Even Power Users will be surprised to learn just how many great features are hidden away in their Mac. --Daniel Jardine
