About the Book

Underneath the colorful interface of Mac OS X is a powerful, complicated operating system based on BSD Unix. And Mac users of all kinds need help both in figuring out how to run OS X and in understanding how it worked and how to get the most out of it. In late Summer 2002 Apple is expected to release a new version of OS X -- code-named "Jaguar" -- that will add some end user features (like iChat), and that will improve OS X's stability. The second edition of Sams Teach Yourself Mac OS X in 24 Hours helps new users to understand how the new OS (different from the traditional Mac OS, as well as Windows) functions, and how to use it successfully. The book also explores how to use the native OS X applications that ship with the product.
