A Handy Book to Have
I rely mostly on books and some videos to get around on my G4 with FCP3 and Photoshop 7. My Mac has OS 10.2. I have the Robin Williams and the David Pogue books. The are both very helpful. But, like most, I don't like to read detailed directions. Sometimes I feel I don't even qualify to read books for "Dummies". This book seems easier and quicker than the above 2 books to find answers to my problems. I am now becomming a fan of the "Dummie" books and I am beginning to feel that I might be a qualified reader. I can then go from there and read the Geek books if I need to. I would highly recommend these and other "Dummie" books. They are quicker and cheaper than highering a consultant or teacher.

Good book for Beginner Mac Users
I recently switched from a PC to an iBook notepad with OS X. So I was looking for any help I could get to teach me what I need to know. I checked out this book from the library and have found it extremely helpful. I don't think this book is aimed at "dummies" as another reviewer wrote, but at someone like myself who is just starting out with a Mac (and I don't consider myself a dummie). It is true that someone who is a "Power User" and has years of experience with Macs and the OS would find this book boring and talking down to them. But, if you're new to Macs at all, I think you'd find this book very helpful. It is a starter book, and from here, I would like to read other, more advanced books on the topic to further my knowledge.
