"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
