Cutting edge Mac users can avail themselves of expert advice as they prepare for October 26th, the date that Apple has announced for the release of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. In the $10 "Take Control of Upgrading to Leopard: Early-Bird Edition," author Joe Kissell walks readers through evaluating if their current Macs will run Leopard well, how to make a useful backup in case of installation problems, smart ways to clear disk clutter and unnecessary files, and whether they should rethink their partitioning scheme. Also included is a 5-page appendix loaded with direct links to backup programs, maintenance utilities, and hardware drivers. Learn more at https://www.takecontrolbooks.com/leopard-upgrading.html.
Readers will have immediate access to the full version of "Take Control of Upgrading to Leopard" as soon as Apple begins selling Leopard. The full version will walk readers through the Leopard installation process, cover how to test a fresh Leopard installation, and explain how to clean up loose ends and troubleshoot problems after installation.
Reader Jackie Chappell said of a previous edition, "Whether you are an experienced Mac geek or a newbie, this book will make the whole installation process a lot less nail-biting." And reader Jon Rosen concurred, saying "’Take Control of Upgrading to Tiger’ truly was a lifesaver."
