Mac OS X is an amazing operating system. Yet, it can also be an annoying operating system. So, depending on what you're doing with itit's either annoyingly amazing or amazingly annoying. Okay, I'm not really being fair, because in reality it's not the operating system itself that's annoying; it's things in the operating systemaspects of it (if you will) that are annoying. This chapter is about how to quickly make some of the most egregious annoyances go away. But make no mistake about itMac OS X isn't the first Apple operating system to include wildly annoying features. Remember Balloon HelpApple's attempt at coming up with a better form of onscreen help, which could only have been devised by the Prince of Darkness himself (not Darth VaderEl Diablo!)? There's a hint, just a hint, of that type of stuff in Mac OS X, but this chapter will help you exorcise those demons fast!
