 The only book you need for this subject January 24, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I'm a recent Windows refugee and bought my first Mac computer -- the Intel Imac, last Christmas. I looked at a number of books available to guide me through the OS and this so far has been the best. Just a bit of writer's sarcasm once in a while but you will never get bored. You will get the step by step instructions and time saving tips & tricks so you don't have to spend hours on Google searching for answers. The book is loaded with info and you don't have to be a geek to understand them -- just keep a notebook on the side -- it's very handy if you need to go back on certain topics..... nuff said.
Cheers!

Great Book It really opens the mysterious door of Mac knowledge that is not there when you by the computer...
 useful material, though no need for the snide attitude January 22, 2008

I have found this book to be very useful as it is detailed and comprehensive, with great keyboard shortcut references.
I do not care for the snide comments about Microsoft and Windows as they serve no purpose and detract from the value of the content. It also reinforces the notion that Mac users are somehow superior to Windows users, which also serves no purpose. Everyone has the freedom to choose what they use, let's respect that.
There are a number of errors that I have encountered so far, most typographical or grammatical, with a few errors of information.
Overall a good value as a reference manual.
Thanks for the grammar corrections, to my review, by commenter H. Carlile.
Fantastic! January 20, 2008

Tne best book by Pogue yet. I went trough the 890 and some pages learning something at almost every page... while smiling thanks to his fine humour. I'll read it a second time with great pleasure!

After many years in the pc world, I switched to Mac. This book is a godsend.
There are many things that are different coming from the pc world, and David Pogue makes learning mac osx fun. I was amazed at how big this book is. You will spend a lot of time with this book. I sit at my computer and try all of the things he writes about so I can "see" what is is saying. I have highlighted many things that I want to remember.
It has been a great help. I strongly recommend it.
