It's little wonder that longtime Windows users are migrating in droves to the
new Mac. They're fed up with the virus-prone Windows way of life, and they're
lured by Apple's well-deserved reputation for producing great all-around computers
that are reliable, user-friendly, well designed, and now--with the $500 Mac mini--extremely
affordable, too.
Whether you're drawn to the Mac's stability, its stunning digital media suite,
or the fact that a whole computer can look and feel as slick as your iPod, you
can quickly and easily become a Mac convert. But consider yourself warned: a
Mac isn't just a Windows machine in a prettier box; it's a whole different animal
and a whole new computing experience.
If you're contemplating--or have already made--the switch from a Windows PC
to a Mac, you need Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition.
This incomparable guide delivers what Apple doesn't: everything you need to
know to successfully and painlessly move to a Mac.
Missing Manual series creator and bestselling author David Pogue teams up with
17-year-old whiz kid and founder of GoldfishSoft (www.goldfishsoft.com) Adam
Goldstein to cover every aspect of switching to a Mac--things like transferring
email, files, and addresses from a PC to a Mac; getting acquainted with the
Mac's interface; adapting to Mac versions of familiar programs (including Microsoft
Office); setting up a network to share files with PCs and Macs; and using the
printers, scanners, and other peripherals you already own.
Covering the latest in Mac OS X v.10.4 "Tiger," Switching to the
Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition explains the hundreds of innovative new
features to the Mac OS and how you can understand and make the very most of
each.
Whether you're a novice or a power user, Switching to the Mac: The Missing
Manual, Tiger Edition, teaches you how to smoothly and seamlessly replace (or
supplement) your Windows machine--in a refreshingly funny and down-to-earth
style--with a mighty Mac.
