This lavishly illustrated color manual to Mac OS X can be read as both a manual and a compelling, highly visual reference. It anticipates users' questions and problems, offering concise, visual explanations to help them make the move to Mac OS X as smooth and trouble-free as possible. It is suitable for those who are encountering a Mac for the first time, as well as existing Mac users who are transitioning from OS 9 to the new operating system. The book features simple instruction rather than technical overload. Aimed at both the novice and intermediate-level user, it gently lures and teaches readers with annotated color images of screens, menus, and tools, as well as representation of immediate concerns within OS X and a cross-reference of pertinent chapters.
