Both Mac and Windows fans have spent years collecting bits of lore-a keyboard shortcut here, an undocumented double-click there-and then Mac OS X Panther came along. It may be the world's best operating system, but it has a personality all its own. As it turns out, Mac OS X Panther harbors just as many delicious secrets as any system that came before. You just have to know where to find them. And Mac OS X Power User is the guide you need. Inside, you'll find 560 high-octane secrets in every conceivable category including: the Desktop and Finder, iApps, Mac OS X programs, and Mastering the system and Terminal.
