Reader Reviews
Are you looking for the ultimate guide to all things Macintosh? Then look no further! This is definitely THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN about Macintosh computing. Why? First, there is the wonderful, easy to read writing style of David Pogue (who wrote the hilarious and amazingly informative Desktop Critic Column for Macworld for years) combined with the technical know-how of Joseph Schoor (who wrote the excellent Secrets Column for the same magazine). When you put two computing giants like them on a project like this, you know you're in for something special. Then, there is the actual content of the book. Complete is too insufficient a word. All-encompassing is more like it. This book covers every version of the Macintosh Operating System, Every Macintosh, and every major program ever made for Macintosh Computers. But what kind of information is covered exactly? The good kind. In addition to command references, shortcuts, time-savers, and the like, you will find plenty of weird, funny, or just plain cool secrets. This book should be required reading for Computer Science 101. It covers the basics of pretty much all things computing, from internet and digital video to page-layout and word-processing. You just might learn how to do something completely new that you have never tried before. To summarize: This book is the best available on Mac Secrets, and a definite must have for any serious Macintosh User. It has saved my life numerous times in the past because excellent info it has on what to do when things go wrong. And you know what, this book is a lot of fun to read. Wait...I forgot to mention the cool cd included full of software programs! Well, it's a nice extra, and yet ANOTHER reason to buy the book. Comment | | (Report this)
