Yeah, I know this book isn't sexy, but you can't have everything.
I got a Mac a few months back, and while it's pretty easy to use, there are still some things i'm used to with a PC that i couldn't figure out how to do with a Mac. I think the Dummies books are always very basic (that's their point), but this one, when i skipped through what makes a mac a mac, and what makes a pc a pc, found it to be easy to read, accurate, and detailed. Almost all of the questions i had (and many i didn't!) were answered. That's all I can ask for from a how-to book! With a little humor thrown in!
