Get the Last Word on Mac OS X Terminology
by Adam Engst, Publisher of TidBITS and the ‘Take Control’ series of eBooks.
We Mac users sling technical jargon around every day, but if you’ve ever felt uncertain about what a term actually means, help is here in “Take Control: The Mac OS X Lexicon.” The ebook is a mad romp through over 500 Macintosh- and Internet-related terms. You’ll learn how to figure out if your optical drive can write to a double-layer DVD, why 404 and 501 are interesting numbers, how to work with the three main types of dashes that you can type on a Mac, and much more. We’re not talking about some dry old dictionary here - these definitions are loaded with useful tips, practical advice, humor, and empathy. If you enjoy the serendipity of discovering useful tips in unexpected places, you’ll love this ebook.
