Description

This updated edition details the many changes in OS X 10.2. Pogue includes new chapters on iChat (Apple's AOL-compatible instant-messaging software), Sherlock 3 (the Web search tool that pulls critical Web information directly onto the desktop), and the new Finder (which reintroduces - spring-loaded - folders by popular request). With the humour and technical insight characteristic of the "Missing Manual" series, the book also delves into features under the hood, such as the networking tools that allow Macs and PCs to swap files on a network.
