Mac OS in a Nutshell was one of the most interesting books I have ever written. The more I delved into the workinging of the operating system, the more tools I found. The Mac is an extremely intuitive system to work on, but really understanding how to use its powerful features takes time and patience. QuickTime, ColorSync, Sherlock, QuickDraw 3D, OpenTransport, and all the other technologies underpinning the Mac are explained in "Mac OS in a Nutshell."

The beauty of the O'Reilly Nutshell series is its succinctness. The Mac OS book provides tips, tricks, descriptions of processes and tasks without boring you with information you don't need to perform your work. You can either read the book cover to cover or use its chapters to research topics that require the book's indepth coverage.

It was an honor to write this book about the best operating system available.
