5.0 out of 5 stars Great Way To Learn How To Use Your Mac !!!!!!!, June 20, 2006

Monkey Business (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inside Mac OS X: Tiger DVD-Rom (Mac) (DVD-ROM)

I bought this about 6 months ago when I bought my first mac and also my first computer.I don't know why they aren't selling more of these things .For me ,looking at a manual the size of a phonebook is about as interesting as stocking shelves in a supermarket.This DVD rom is 8 hours long and covers all the items in the contents very well.Perhaps with a manual you can get into more detail but for me this is the place to start at least.What I do is watch a section and then either take a few notes and go to a particular program or just go to a particular program itself.By the way I do own a couple of manuals for Appleworks but they just collect dust.

This review is from: Inside Mac OS X: Tiger DVD-Rom (Mac) (DVD-ROM)

I interviewed for a job and notice the office was Mac dominated. I had always been reluctant to go with a mac so once I got offered the job I ordered this dvd to as to not be a total Mac dumb-donkey. I watched the first few lessons and I was set, my first day of work went well thanks to the DVD. The quality is the best and Tod the presenter is a gifted teacher, good voice, excellent overall.

thanks Tod

This review is from: Inside Mac OS X: Tiger DVD-Rom (Mac) (DVD-ROM)

I am officially a swithcer!! I would never go back to using a PC unless I absolutely had to. The is a must have for anyone who is purchasing a Mac for the first time. The video tutorials walk you through some key features that really help you harness the benefits of a Mac. Once you start utilizing The Finder, Spotlight, Widgets, and more you'll wondering what your life was like without a Mac. Great buy, great instructor!!
