hi all,

recently I bought a macbook with leopard.... coming from 15 years in windows world, I'm facing some conceptual issues, as you can imagine :)

anyway, I managed to find my way through the problems I encounter. however, I'd really appreciate if someone provides info/book/article that explains how mac os works. i'm a developer and i'm used to having control over every single detail of the OS, so therefore I want to dive into mac os nuts and bolts, so that I know what's going on behind the shiny UI.

any help would be appreciated :)
