Description:
Mac OS 9.1: Visual QuickStart Guide, like its popular series-mates, tightly integrates text--mostly bulleted lists of facts and numbered steps to follow--with small, salient illustrations. If a procedure refers to the Add to Favorites command on the File menu, a picture of the File menu--with the relevant command highlighted--appears immediately adjacent. And Maria Langer is among the most popular authors in this series, largely because she's very good at writing in this format. This book centers on the needs of people who use Mac OS 9.1--on iMacs, iBooks, and desktop Macs--in home and small-office settings. More specifically, Langer assumes that readers do all of their configuration work themselves, without the aid of the dedicated experts who typically work in large organizations. More experienced users of Mac OS, though they may find a lot of the material elementary, will appreciate the coverage of networking and Internet connectivity. Confident novices will love this book for its detail and the fact that it's not at all condescending to newcomers. --David Wall Topics covered: Mac OS 9.1 for anyone who uses it, explicit and well-illustrated how-to information on file management, software (both native to Mac OS and aftermarket), printing, networking, connectivity via local area networks (LANs) and modems, and performance.
