 Great guide for a new iMac user October 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Just changed over to Apple after years of PCs. Quite a shock for an old dog to learn new tricks, but the Missing Manual books have made the change much less traumatic. I have found the Missing Manuals to be well written, easily understood, and a great help in mastering a new system.
 Mac OSX Leopard: The Missing Manual October 18, 2008
I've relied on David Pogue to guide me through the ins and outs of Mac OSs since long before
they named them after wild felines. I've seldom come away from an index without locating the
subject I was looking for. He's at his best with the Leopard book. If you buy or upgrade to this
OS, I recommend you have it on hand.
The answer to Mac questions October 1, 2008
This book is terrific to find out what the Mac can do, and how to do it. I've had the Mac and the book for about a month now, and it's really helped me bridge the gap from disgruntled XP owner to delighted Mac owner. It's 900 pages and it has a good index to find the answer to specific things you want to learn to do. The author really knows the Mac and writes in a tutorial fashion, making it easy for the modest to moderately competent user to understand. The book is far superior to using the Apple web site to learn to do Mac "stuff". With the book, you can mark the pages, and you don't need to be online, unlike the skimpy online tutorials.
Highly recommended, if you want to get more from your Mac, and do more.
Mac OS X Leopard Manual September 29, 2008

I am a manual person who has never been impressed with the online help screens. I like to earmark and put tabs in a manual and refer to it often. This manual has met my expectations and I would not hesitate buying it again.
Liferaft September 24, 2008

This book is liferaft for me. Even seven months into using Mac OS X Leopard, after all those years in the Classic Mac environment, I still frequently find myself all at sea. It doesn't help that in my mid-seventies my memory is unreliable, but the Missing Manual is right there, well-indexed to enable me to find the topic I need and unfailingly helpful, not only answering my questions, but offering information I wouldn't have thought to ask for. Without it, I would be driving my children crazy with questions like: "Why did it return my email when I tried to attach a photograph?" and "Why can't my friend open the photos that did get through on her PC--they're all JPEGs?" See The Missing Manual, Page 708.
