Book Reviews of Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition
Book Review: Don't leave your PC without it...
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally took the plunge this Christmas and left the murky world of Windows behind for the greener pastures of the Core 2 Duo iMac. It's been a blast so far and I have to say I won't be going back. However, the job of transferring stuff from my old PC to my new iMac would have taken me ages if it weren't for this book.
Cleverly written to be straight forward without ever being patronising, it takes you through everything you ned to know to move (virtual) house and home and acclimatise yourself to your colourful, slick new surroundings. It helped me to transfer all my documents and pictures using my modem router; import my favourites, address book entries and e-mail accounts; set up the mac the way I wanted it; capture my Christmas camcorder footage, add sound and effects using iMovie and burn my first DVD with iDVD. All of this within the first week! I still find myself constantly referring to it to understand this and that. I'm also planning to buy the Missing Manual for iMovie and IDVD.
Believe me, this book will make your first few months on the Apple side of the fence considerably easier and more enjoyable. Anyone thinking og buying a Mac should make this part of the purchase.
