Mac Os9: The Complete Reference [With CDROM]

I read Michael R Berry's review and cannot believe he actually read this book. It is filled with information that I never knew before, and I'm far from a Mac beginner. There were pages and pages on cross-platform networking, using Apple's Internet file sharing features, customizing Sherlock 2's search tools, enhancing the look of usefulness of the Mac System 9 Finder, configuring ColorSync and managing e-mail filters. And that was only the beginning.I learned more about the Mac and the programs you can get for it from this book than almost any other I have read. I heartily recommend that you buy this terrific book; it's all that it promises to be and much more.

I bought a copy of Mac OS 9 from The Apple Store, but was afraid to install it, because it contained just a bare bones manual. Instead, I bought a copy of Gene Steinberg's "Mac OS 9: The Complete Reference."This book is what Apple should have supplied with its operating system. Mr. Steinberg's book is a wonderful way to learn the ins and outs of Mac OS 9. It starts with detailed instructions on installation, including the dreaded clean install. Then it goes on to explain, step by step, how you set it up for best performance.The book also includes an extensive overview of popular Mac programs and how to get the most out of your Internet access.I learned many things I never know about Macs from this book, and my experience with Mac OS 9 has been excellent. This book is highly recommended.

although I expected to find material for novices only, I was more than surprised to find that Gene Steinberg has provided an in depth review and guide to the latest operating system from Apple.Although I had to use a computer dictionary at times to decipher "geek" terminology, I found most of the information useful and have since helped others with problems using solutions taken directly out of the MacOS 9: The Complete Reference.I recommend this Macintosh reference book to novices through more experienced Mac users.
