FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Popular Electronic Book, "Take Control of Upgrading to Panther" Updated to Version 1.1 Ithaca, NY (November 10, 2003) -- "Take Control of Upgrading to Panther," an electronic book that thoroughly guides Macintosh users through the Mac OS X Panther installation process, was updated to version 1.1 on Friday, November 7, just two weeks after its 1.0 release. The new version includes updated information about serious problems with FireWire hard drives, as well as new details about bad third-party RAM, firewalls, printing, AppleTalk, X11, third-party utilities, and partitioning hard drives. The first version of "Take Control of Upgrading to Panther" enjoyed unprecedented popularity, with nearly 3300 copies sold in under two weeks and numerous accolades. One reader, Norman Booker, wrote: "This book is clearly one of the best bits of logical, reader-friendly, and practical writing I've come across - even in the Mac world. Its design and presentation as a PDF take full advantage of that format, is flawless, and is a delight to use. Its writing style so well avoids the traps of being either overly technical and geeky on one hand or being insultingly condescending and patronizing of ordinary Mac users' sensibilities on the other." Take Control publisher Adam Engst commented, "The fact that we can release a major update that's more than 25 percent larger than the original version within two weeks - and make it available for free to everyone who bought the first version - shows the power of the Take Control publishing model. Readers want the kind of timely, comprehensive information that can be made available only through a streamlined electronic publishing approach."
