 A comprehensive Mac OS X book June 3, 2007
At last, an excellent book for those who want to know how the OS X ticks. It gives lots of good info and deep knowledge of not only the commands but also supplies comprehensive info on things like how to work with Apache and tweak it for other web support programmes. If you are a tech person wanting to know lots about how to drive OS X Tiger, then this is the book for you. (e.g. I found the instruction that allows the Finder to see all the files on the disc, not just the ones Apple wants you to see.)
 iMac May 19, 2007
As a neophyte, I found the book dificult to understand. Frankly I am disappointed in 10.4. It is not as user friendly as 9.2.
Excellent Book February 1, 2007
Liked the book. Easy to understand and covers just about everything about the Mac OS. I recommend this book
to anyone who wants an excellent book on the Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.
An Excellent Manual January 3, 2007
I like a printed manual to refer to and Todd Stauffer is the best. He touches on every facet of the Mac.
