Mac OS 9: The Missing Manual"O'Reilly Media, Inc.", 2000 - Broj stranica: 461 The popular system software for the resurgent Macintosh platform is Mac OS 9, which includes over 50 new features.

Along the way, Pogue communicates the joy of using the little shortcuts, drag-and-drop surprises, and elegant design touches that make the Mac the most passionately championed computer in the world. Above all,Mac OS 9:The Missing Manualoffers warm, witty, jargon-free writing, with enough patience for the novice and enough depth for the power user. The book bursts with the shortcuts, surprises, and design touches that make the Mac the most passionately championed computer in the world. |
