[Ti] Beginner OS/X Text

[Daniel T Kegan]

I liked:
a) O'Reilly. Dave Taylor & Jerry Peek. Learning Unix for Mac OS X US$20 
140pp
b) O'Reilly. Chuck Toporek. Mac OS X Pocket Reference US$13 115pp
moving from OS 9 to OS X.
Both small, thin, readable on train while commuting, etc,
and good, brief intro content for getting a framework and getting 
started.
Mac OS X Missing Manual US$30 700+pp, while a good reference for some 
things,
much heavier on the wrists, is a different animal, different purpose.
