Product Description
You finally took the plunge and bought a Mac. Whether yours is a MacBook, Mac Pro, Mac mini, or iMac &mdash it's still a Mac, and it runs the Macintosh operating system, Mac OS X.
But what do you do with your Mac after you turn it on? Do you even know how to turn it on and off properly or put it to sleep? You need a book like
My New Mac to make everything easy.
Wallace Wang, author of the best-selling
Steal This Computer Book, will show you, step-by-step, how to use tools like iPhoto to organize your photos, track birthdays with iCal, and clip and save information from the Internet so you can find it again. You'll find simple projects that will show you how to:

- Set up and manage parental controls to limit your children's computer and Internet access
- Play and burn CDs and DVDs
- Transfer photographs from your digital camera to your computer

Don't put off learning how to use your new computer. Let Wallace Wang show you the ropes with
My New Mac.

Reader Reviewshttp://weblog.infoworld.com/geeks/archives/2008/06/my_new_mac.html I wrote a review on this book for InfoWorld...let me say that this is a great book and was a great help in my migration from a PC to my new Mac. Mr. Wang has done a great job digging down deep and exposing some truly useful tips instead of bubble gum like too many newbie books. /brian chee
