Useful Beginner's Guide (3/3 people found this helpful)
I bought this book as I had just purchased a new I-MAC, and, had never had one before so needed some guidance. The book is split into eight sections: 1) What's new 2) MAC/OS Survival Guide 3) MAC/OS Basics 4) System Preferences 5) Applications and Utilities 6) Unix Basics 7) Configuring Your MAC.
In the first month I found the book very useful in helping me setup the desktop in the way that suited me, creating a login, setting up security and getting to grips with the basics. It also had an explanation of what to do if the MAC locks up, and, although its more stable in my experience than windows, yes it does lockup. All the information in the book is available in the manuals within the MAC or on line but I simply prefer to have a paper book that I can refer to (especially for specific tasks such as password management). Since that first month, however, I use it very rarely.
So in summary it's a very useful quick guide to a new starter on the MAC, if you have used one before or if you prefer to learn on line then it's not for you.
