This book offers a simple to read, fast way to discover all that's new

in Mac OS X Leopard, and how to make the most of it, whether you are new

to the Mac, or simply upgrading from a previous version of Mac OS X. New

additions to the operating system are showcased, including the changes

to the Dock and Finder, and new features such as Stacks, Cover Flow, and

Quick View introduced, before the book moves on to give a basic guide to

using the Mac-creating folders, moving files, installing applications,

and burning CDs, for example. Communication and organization are covered

with chapters on Mail and iChat, including information on how to get the

most of the latest features such as creating to-do items, and reading

RSS feeds in Mail, and sharing screens in iChat. There are chapters that

cover Spaces and Time Machine, perhaps the most talked about feature in

this release of Mac OS X. iLife is fully dealt with, with discrete

chapters on iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD, and GarageBand, followed

with a chapter on iWeb showing how to share your creations, and using

Front Row to be entertained by them. The final chapters of the book give

an overview of some more advanced areas of using a Mac, namely how Mac

OS X itself works, and also how to develop for the Mac. These chapters

are intended only to give a glimpse as to the possibilities-the book is

primarily aimed at regular users. A number of appendices conclude the

book, one providing a guide to those users who are switching from

Windows, and another that contains a useful list of recommended Mac

applications for a wide array of uses. In the authors own words "This

book isn't a bible or tome about how to do anything and everything with

Mac OS X, instead its goal is to introduce the major features of Mac OS

X so you can be up and running quickly".
