Beyond the Little Mac Book by Williams Robin Broback Steve (1997-04-24) Paperback

by Robin P. Williams

Not unsurprisingly, Beyond the Little Mac Book is a follow-up to The Little Mac Book. This works out well for the intermediate Macintosh user looking to learn more advanced skills. Topics include managing the System Folder, disaster recovery, system optimization, handling emergencies, system accessories, and tips and tricks--just the kind of insider information that will make you a more well-rounded, independent user, perhaps even a power user. The book also includes a chapter on sharing files with PCs, using the Web, using a modem, getting an Internet provider, and using online services. The presentation is straightforward, readable, and easily browsed if you prefer casual jumping around to sustained linear reading.

[Sarah Sammis · Rating 4 out of 5]

So much of it is out of date now but it sure was a helpful book back in its day.
