Macs for Dummies Author:David Pogue Buying a Mac neatly eliminates most of the hassle, frustration, and annoyance that normally comes with buying a computer. In addition, the modern Macintosh model has everything you need built in: a modem, a CD-ROM, and a glorious color screen (built into every model except Power Macs). Selling a complete computer in one handy bundle isn’t ... more »a new idea – but rarely has it all worked together so smoothly. If the Mac is so simple, then who needs a book about it? Well, despite all the free goodies you get with the Mac, a manual isn’t among them. You need somewhere to go when things go wrong or when you want to know what the add-on software does. Macs For Dummies, 7th Edition, is the resource to turn to. This information-packed book is for
Aspiring or experienced graphic artists
The computer newbie who wants to get to know the Mac
The regular Mac user who want to explore the newest features and applications
The computer user who is switching from a Windows-based PC to the Mac
Anyone who is tired of battling PC viruses (there is only one known virus – easily avoided – that affects Macs!)
