Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Andy Ihnatko describes himself as "the world's 42nd most-beloved industry personality" because "it's vaguely credible but utterly impossible to prove or disprove, and thus precisely the sort of tagline I was looking for." An unabashed geek ("The bashings ended when I left high school for Rensselaer Polytechnic, thank God"), Andy's been writing about tech since 1989. In the past, he's written for every single magazine or website with the word "Mac" in it, highlighted by 10 years as MacUser and then Macworld's back-page opinion columnist. He's currently the Chicago Sun-Times' technology columnist.
In his pursuit of "heroically stupid applications of technology," Andy has built an animatronic Darth Vader doll that could be controlled over the Internet via telepresence to hassle his roommate's cats and written and published a complete set of plans and instructions for converting any Classic-style Macintosh into a fully functional 2.5-gallon aquarium. "The Original MacQuarium" was one of the Internet's first e-Books and can be downloaded from several sites after a quick Google search.
This is Andy's fourth book. Andy lives in Boston with his two goldfish, Click and Drag. He invites you to visit his aptly named "Colossal Waste Of Bandwidth" at www.andyi.com.
Dr. Jan L. Harrington has been working with and writing about the Macintosh since March 1984. In her day job, she is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of CS/IS/IT at Marist College, where she carries the torch for Macintosh users with great enthusiasm. Her 30+ published books include more than a dozen Macintosh-specific titles, including several on various flavors of the Macintosh OS.

"I'll tell you a secret....
If you don't own this book, you're probably standing in the aisle at the bookstore right now, trying to decide if it's worth the money. Good for you. Can't be too careful with a dollar these days.
So here's a hint. If you want to learn how to use Unix's 'cron' command to adjust the scheduling of automated system maintenance tasks or perform scripts and functions...you're going to be disappointed. But if you've just acquired your first Macintosh, or you've just upgraded to Panther, or if you've been using Panther for a while and realized that you're just not exploiting if fully, well you're precisely the person for whom i wrote this book.
And, if you just woke up this morning thinking that you could do better with a Mac than Windows...oooh, baby, let me show you Paris the way no one's ever shown you Paris!"
--Andy Ihnatko
