It includes the essential details of the operating system, utility programs, and configuration settings, all captured in a consistent reference format.

- Detailed documentation on User Interface including clipboard and memory management
- A look at almost every command and utility available with Mac OS, including window behaviors, universal commands, and important documentation on programs such as QuickTime
- Detailed advice and documentation on multimedia and printing, including color management and fonts
- A detailed treatment of Internet configuration and access via Dial-Up Networking; also covers peer-to-peer and client-server file sharing
- Lots of tips, gotchas, and clever ways to do familiar and not-so-familiar tasks

About the Author
Rita Lewis is the bestselling author of more than eleven Macintosh books. Rita began using Macs in 1984 as a part of her job, and has since applied her 15 years of fine arts schooling to the design of web sites and the publication of books about the Mac OS and networking. These varied experiences culminated in the publication of three best-selling books: PageMill 2.0 Handbook (Hayden Books), Sams Teach Yourself Mac OS 8.5 in 24 Hours, and Sams Teach Yourself iMac in 10 Minutes. Rita has a master's degree in cultural anthropology that she has applied to the study of corporate computer marketing departments; she has been preparing all her life to write the definitive Mac OS book.

Bill Fishman has spent years writing mainframe software manuals in Los Angeles, while secretly supporting all his friends on their Macs. He is pleased that he got to help write a Macintosh book that will actually be read, and is beginning to accept that he is a Macintosh fanatic.
