Reader Reviews
This book is great. My first computer and an Apple. Never touched any kind of computer before this and starting rather late in life. I'm amazed....I learned with this book and Apple's great phone Tech support. Much less intimidating than wading through pages of text. I will do that eventually, but this gave me a great start.
