But I Love My Mouse


Mac OS X provides a powerful and elegant graphical user interface, so you might find it counterintuitive to drop into the Unix command line to get a job done. But as with a powerful car, sometimes you need to get under the hood to squeeze out all the performance it can deliver.

Even if you don't have an immediate need, working through some of the projects in this book is a Unix analog to the pointing, clicking, and dragging way in which most of us learned the Mac OS. It'll help you gain familiarity and confidence in using Unix. When you've made friends with the man pages, practiced stringing commands together, and written a few scripts, you'll begin to know and appreciate the power under the Aqua-colored hood.
