"Here, I'm going to help you out before you even start leafing through this thing. If you run an $8 FireWire cable between a pair of Macs running Tiger, the OS automatically creates an ultra-high-speed network between the two, with zero help from you. It's one of the easiest and quickest ways to swap files or play network games, and you can even use this mini network to 'share' an Internet connection! See? Have the other books' authors done so much for you at this stage? Please keep this in mind as you make your purchasing decision." -- Andy Ihnatko
