The first edition of this book, which was published the same day Panther was released, helped many other early adopters breeze through the upgrade process without the aggravation of discovering problems on their own. Now that Panther has been available for several months, more cautious users are jumping on the bandwagon. These users can benefit not only from updated software that solves many of Panther's early problems, but also from the wealth of new information that this edition supplies about avoiding difficulties and making the upgrade process even smoother. If you've put off upgrading to Panther, I can tell you with confidence that now is an excellent time to take the plunge. This ebook is your anti-anxiety guide to every step of the process.Reader CommentThis book is clearly one of the best bits of logical, reader-friendly, and practical writing I've come across - even in the Mac world. Its design and presentation as a PDF with hotlinks, etc, taking full advantage of that format, is flawless and a delight to use. Your writing style so well avoids the traps of being either overly technical and geeky on one hand or being insultingly condescending and patronising of ordinary Mac users' sensibilities on the other! You've struck the right balance in terms of breadth of content and amount and level of detail on the other while providing tantalising hints of more to learn and discover. -Norman Booker
