Reader Reviews
I didn't purchase this book the first time around. Instead, I purchased Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, because that was exactly what I was doing. When it arrived I dove in, thinking it would answer all my questions. WHOA! Way over my head! I'm sure the book is brilliant but unfortunately, I'm not! I gave it to my husband and had him read it instead. I immediately ordered the more lowly rated Mac for Dummies and gave a big sigh of relief upon reading a few pages in it. Now this was something I could understand. My point is, if you're like me and do well negotiating the web, sending emails and doing a little word processing this book is for you. All I want to know is how the heck to I put someone's email address in my new address book. The other day I got fed up with that little bar that's at the bottom of my screen when I go into Safari - the one with all the icons. I was also frustrated because I couldn't get the whole page to take up the entire screen. Guess what - a little reading in my Mac for Dummies and I not only had that little bar off to the side of the screen, but I figured out how to keep it hidden so that it would pop out only when I needed it! I also figured out how to make the web page take up the whole screen. Print on the screen to small? I enlarged it! This may sound like small stuff to you techies out there, but to a middle aged mom who is completely befuddled by this stuff it was a minor miracle! I had used my PC for so many years that small stuff like this became easy for me. All of a sudden everything was difficult. So for those of you out there who are reading this and going "yeah, I'm right with you", grab this book when you buy your new Mac. For the rest of you, grab Switching to the Mac. They're both excellent books, depending upon your abilities.
