Review

"...you'd be hard pressed to find a better no-brainer beginners guide to the iMac?a practical, inspirational introduction to the wonderful world of Macs for computing newbies...pretty near perfect..." (MacFormat, December 2002)

Best-selling author Pogue, a technology columnist for the New York Times, delves beyond the sleek design of the newest iMac with this gung-ho guide for beginners (Part I being "for the absolute iMac virgin"). He walks through the whole iMac experience and its features, from what happens when readers first plug in and turn on their machines to basic networking and troubleshooting issues. Of particular note is the coverage of iPhotto, iMovie, iTunes, and iDVD. The book's friendly, enthusiastic tone will appeal to tyros, and Pogue provides plenty of useful information along the way. Recommended for all libraries. (Library Journal, January 2003)
