Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fun reading and loaded with "Aha" information-great!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond the Little Mac Book (Paperback)
This little book is a wonder! I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a Mac-I would actually say it is essential. Easy to read-it's a scream. Full of what-to-do-if's and how to keep everything running ship-shape. Explains mind-boggling concepts in easy to understand terms. Great step by step instruction. Everything from RAM and ROM to System Folder conflicts to fonts and software to how to keep a lean mean machine and handling "problems-Yikes!" I actually took a class entitled "Understanding Your Mac"at a local Jr. College that used it as the textbook. I keep my copy right beside the computer. Get this book for yourself or a friend now!

This review is from: Beyond the Little Mac Book (Paperback)
Broback and Williams manage to proivde you with plenty of solid information without boring you with details. Excellent for the Mac user who needs to get the most out of his/her machine and know what to do when something goes wrong. I followed a lot of their advice and my Mac runs more stable than it has in a long time.
