A helpful tip or trick on about every page, for the old pro or just
getting started on a Mac. A range of items from the ordinary
to installing Linux. There are a few tables of keystroke shortcuts,
more possible than I imagined.
I checked this one out of the library, though it’s one of those books
you’d like to have around as a reference.

I'm not too tech savvy and I found several useful tips in Provan's book. Some were over my head or not applicable to my needs, but there was enough here to make it worthwhile. Wish I'd had it as a resource when I first got my iMac a couple of years ago.
