For a company that promised to "put a pause on new features," Apple sure has been busy-theres barely a feature left untouched in Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard." Theres more speed, more polish, more refinement-but still no manual. Fortunately, David Pogue is back, with the humor and expertise that have made this the #1 bestselling Mac book for eight years straight. You get all the answers with jargon-free introductions to:

Big-ticket changes. A 64-bit overhaul. Faster everything. A rewritten Finder. Microsoft Exchange compatibility. All-new QuickTime Player. If Apple wrote it, this book covers it.
Snow Leopard Spots. This book demystifies the hundreds of smaller enhancements, too, in all 50 programs that come with the Mac: Safari, Mail, iChat, Preview, Time Machine.
Shortcuts. This must be the tippiest, trickiest Mac book ever written. Undocumented surprises await on every page.
Power usage. Security, networking, build-your-own Services, file sharing with Windows, even Mac OS Xs Unix chassis-this one witty, expert guide makes it all crystal clear.
