Geek out.

New Mac, new operating system.

I just upgraded to the new MacBook Air from a four-year-old one. Coming from a family of tech manual readers, I like to stay current. David Pogue keeps me up to date.

Eight hundred pages here of the best ever Mac manual. Pogue builds on his previous editions to flag the upgrades and changes in this, the fourteenth major revision of Apple’s operating system. What caught my eye in this edition:

The Safari browser now prevents advertisers from tracking us as we move from site to site, slamming shut the privacy holes.

Apple distinguishes between security, which protects the Mac, and privacy, which protects the information.

I began with the Mac thirty-four years ago, the year after it debuted, at a time when manuals came in the box. The Missing Manual series more than makes up for the missing manual.

I keep this on my shelf for whenever my Mac acts up or I need to a refresher on how to do something. The only way that they could improve it would be doing a spiral bound edition that would stay open and flat on the desk
