This is a very nice book. Practical and objective. You have in your hands a very useful guide to the mysteries of the Mac world. Its chapters are very clear about how to change to a new world in computers without pain. This is one of the most interesting series edited to this date. Highly recommended.

This book is very helpful. I wish that this book came in the box with the I-Mac computer. After useing a PC for most my life switching to a MAC can be intimidating. But the book has been very useful.
