Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger : Visual QuickStart Guide (Visual Quickstart Guides)

This Is a good book for beginners. It covers everything that the newbie MAC user is going to need to know to install MAC OS X Tiger, using and exploring the MAC, installation, configuration settings, system preferences, login options, security options, keychain access, games and how to play them, networking, Finder, Fonts, Dash board, creating widgets, Spotlight, Sherlock, MAC utilities, installing printers (local and networked), Bluetooth, UNIX commands, terminal. You name it covers it in basic terms designed for the beginner MAC user. It does a very good job of covering all the basics of MAC OS X system including the applications that come with Tiger.

The book does not go into the technical aspects of what drives Tiger, it is solely for the beginner to intermediate user.

As with most Peachpit press books there are ample graphical images in each section to guide you through the chapter. This book does have everything for the beginner. I would rate this book 4.5 stars for the beginner , 3 stars for the intermediate user (there is some stuff here for the intermediate users with regard to the new applications) and 1 star for the advanced user. Because this books stated audience is the beginner to intermediate user I would rate this book at an overall rating of 4 stars.

This is an excellent how to book for both beginners and intermediate users
of Macintosh OSx Tiger. It covers most of the required information in an
easy to understand and use fashion. Explanations are detailed enough to get
the job done without being too technically heavy.
It would be very suitable as well for anyone switching from using Windows
All things considerwed this book is a good investment and a good way to get
into using OSx Tiger.
to using OSx.

I found this book to be helpful in finding solutions to some of my questions and relatively easy to use.

We tried several different books before ran across this one in the library. Had to buy it for ourselves. It has pictures instead of dry text.

The "other" Mac books seem to have a sense humor. This is dull as dirt-couldn't find what I was looking for either.

Ms. Langer has done it again with this new book. I am new to Mac and definitely this is a very good book compare to some of the other ones I was thinking.


Thanks,

Mac Newbie

I returned it before looking at it. Did not receive in the condition I ordered.
