But Tiger is better shielded than ever, offering a better fire-wall, an Internet stealth mode, and parental online controls. Bonus software. This book demystifies all 50 of the programs that come with the Mac, including Tiger's revamped editions of Safari, iChat, and Mail-and even iPhoto, iMovie, and iTunes. Finding Familiar Features. Two "Where'd It Go?"
