With a thickness of around 850 pages, reading this book will appear as a daunting task. But it is fun to read. David Pogue has a nice engaging style and never appears dry. He has provided wonderfully clear explanations to describe the various features in mac. Interspersed with the xplanations are various stories on macintosh which are very interesting and improve our understanding of the macintosh. Along with covering all aspects of the mac, the book also provides chapters on trouble shooting and cool keyboard shortcuts. For those (like me) who are coming from windows world, they also provide a chapter which lists mac counterparts to frequently used windows programs (e.g, system preferences in mac is nearly equal to control panel in windows). This is a must read for recent switchers. For experience users it can be a reference manual. Buy it and have fun.Read full review
this is the book you should of gotten before you plugged in your ibook. I guess I'm too twentith century to be able to make the machine answer my questions without endless searching. give me a table of content in the front and an index in the back and I can do it quicker and easier
Saw it in a computer store...read a little and saw that it answered some questions that I had not been able to find answers to so I looked on Ebay and there it was. It is an excellent book for the Mac owner with a Windows mentality, especially the first time Mac owner who is trying to make the darn thing work.
Some portions a little skimpy on coverage, e.g. setting up an Airport/wireless network, and what type of cards to look for and why. I would say that, if the book had a shortcoming from my perspective, the book had a good overview of topics, but I had to go elsewhere for detail. Worth the purchase... WPM
