Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual Tiger Edition 2nd Edition
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.
The latest reprint of this book has been updated to reflect
the new generation of Mac models that run on Intel chips.
There's even a new appendix that guides you through the
installation of Windows XP on your Macintosh (using adapter
software like Boot Camp or Parallels), so that you have the
best of all worlds: a single, beautiful machine that can run
100 percent of the world's desktop software. (Note to people
who've already bought the book: This appendix is available
as a free PDF download from missingmanuals.com.)
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.
