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
