Mac OS X Unwired Reviews

... small handbook of only about 200 pages, written to the best O'Reilly traditions. It is short on theory and long on explanations and how-tos, including all kinds of trouble-shooting tips ... Both the book's authors are professional writers, not 'just' techies, and that does make a difference. The language is good and the narrative clear, the disposition logical. Information Security Bulletin, March 14th
