Upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger: Visual QuickProject Guide

This book would possibly be helpful to a Mac neophyte, but for me, a Mac user for 26 years, it is virtually useless. I had hoped it would serve as a guide to changed procedures and using new features, but it doesn't. I've used 2 of the missing manual series by David Pogue (whom I know: he's a very talented and funny guy in person) but his books, which range about 700-900 pages, go overboard in their detail. I was hoping for the middle ground when I ordered this book, but it's at the opposite extreme. At 125 pages for $12.95, it costs a dime a page, most of which are scarcely worth a penny!

Summary of Upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger: Visual QuickProject Guide

?For many users, it's not working with a new operating system that's intimidating, it's all that needs to be done before, during, and after the upgrade that has them running scared. That's why best-selling author Tom Negrino has devoted an entire guide to just that topic. Rather than cover every last feature and function of Apple's newest OS, Tom focuses on just the need-to-know essentials that will ensure a smooth transition to Mac OS X Tiger. In short order, readers will learn how to prepare for the upgrade, how to back up their data, what's entailed in the actual upgrade, and how to reinstall software. Once Tiger is safely installed, Tom provides a quick overview of what's changed before showing readers how to customize their systems and use three of Tiger's key features: Spotlight search, Automator (for streamlining repetitive tasks), and Dashboard (the control panel for Tiger's nifty new widget mini-apps). And for readers who want to know more about what's new in this system upgrade, the book provides a handy overview of the top ten new additions to Mac OS X Tiger.
