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 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!)
Macs For Dummies, 7th Edition, is your complete guide to the Mac. Find out how to make movies with iMovie ; build a database with AppleWorks 6; or go wireless with the AirPort Card. Following is a hit list of just some of the things you'll find in this book:
