This review is from: Mac OS X Tiger: Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks (Paperback)

"Mac OS X Tiger: Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks" offers a useful, and easily understood, set of tips and tricks for the Mac OS X (Tiger) operating system.

As a user moving back to using a Mac after a long period of exclusive use of various versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system, this book was quite useful for me to get up to speed quickly on Mac OS X (Leopard).

While there are many sources of information on how to use the Mac OS X operating system, this book provided concise, "bite-sized" techniques that had me up and running efficiently on my Mac in a short period of time.

I recommend this book as a good return on time invested.

I found this book very helpful and easy to follow. The visuals are great and a lot easier to use than just reading pages and pages of words on how to do things.
