So you're finally making the leap from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X. Good for you! Or maybe you've just switched from Windows and bought a brand - spanking - new iMac. Bravo!
Or perhaps you've never used a computer before and have bought a new Mac because you heard how easy they are to use. Bonus points! Whatever your reason for diving into the Aqua-filled world of Mac OS X, rest assured that you made the right choice.
Thing is, Apple has made Mac OS X quite different from earlier Mac operating systems, and it's way different than Windows, so you may need a little help finding your way through that big, complicated operating system - not to mention all that great software that comes bundled with it. That's why veteran Mac-scribe Bob LeVitus has written a not-so-big, not-so-complicated Dummies book about Mac OS X. Recently revised for version 10.2 (a.k.a. Jaguar), Mac OS X For Dummies, 2nd Edition shows you what Mac OS X is all about, without boring you silly, confusing you to the point of frustration, or poking you with sharp objects.
You'll discover the information and advice you need in a language that you can understand (unlike those other computer books that shall remain nameless). Inside Mac OS X For Dummies, 2nd Edition, you'll find the following topics and more: setting up and turning on your new Mac; getting around on the Desktop and in the Dock; finding stuff with the Finder; working with Mac OS X applications and files; surfing the Internet - Mac OS X style; sharing and printing files and documents; making your Mac your own: Setting System Preferences; troubleshooting - Yes, even Mac OS X crashes every once in a while; and, Top Ten lists on how to speed up your Mac experience, accessories you should consider, Web sites all Mac freaks should know about, and valuable third-party software.
No matter what you use your Mac for - whether it's to surf the Internet, watch DVDs, listen to online music, or any number of other reasons - Mac OS X For Dummies, 2nd Edition, will get you well on your way to becoming a bona fide Mac guru.
