My four-year-old daughter was very excited the day The Bugaboo Bugs arrived in the mail for review. She loves games, but little did she know this was an educational title. While the product is rated for 5-9 years of age, I had hopes this would help my four-year-old as well.

When I first received the Mac OS X Lexicon, I thought, “What could this book possibly tell a Mac user of 20+ years that he didn’t already know?†The answer: Plenty! “Ogg Vorbis,†“yottabyte,†“Breadcrumbs†and “Flog,†what are they talking about?
Take Control of Easy Backups in Leopard
Review II
Same book, new review. David Weeks, like Russ a month ago, takes a look at Joe Kissell’s latest. Joe has been a mainstay of the TidBITS writing staff for years. He’s authored excellent books on various Tiger and Leopard topics. One of my Kissell favorites is Take Control of Mac OS X Backups, 2nd Edition.

Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Support Essentials, Second Edition
Book Review
First off, a friendly warning: Should you pick up this book and simply start reading it from Chapter 1, expecting yet another friendly “how-to†guide to OS X Leopard you will most likely be sorely disappointed. As the “official curriculum of Apple’s Mac OS X Support Essentials v10.5 training course,†this book is intended specifically to prepare the reader for the examination(s) he or she must pass in order to become an Apple Certified Support Professional.
