4.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful but needs updating,
By A Customer
This review is from: Macweek Upgrading and Repairing Your Mac (Dan Crabb Macintosh Library) (Paperback)
A very useful reference book, especially if your Mac is earlier than September 1995. Of course a lot of the information about software and hardware in general is applicable to later machines as well. I would have given it a 10 when it was published first, but now I only give it an 8 because it has not been updated. I would hope that a new edition will be published that includes the many Macs and Mac clones brought out since August 1995.
4.0 out of 5 stars
In depth coverage of the Mac makes this a valuable resource.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Macweek Upgrading and Repairing Your Mac (Dan Crabb Macintosh Library) (Paperback)
Having problems with your Mac? Need to add a video card, install RAM, or just wondering how all those components work together? MacWeek Upgrading and Repairing Your Mac has a wealth of useful information for the novice and pro alike.
Lisa Lee discusses everything from troubleshooting to choosing software to buying the right Mac. Her writing is generally accessible and easy to understand. She tackles difficult and "techie" subjects with aplomb. Most techniques for fixing the Mac are here, though I did notice a few curious omissions (for example, only one reference to zapping the PRAM and no details about how to accomplish it or when doing so might be helpful. There was also no mention of replacing a dead backup battery, which has become a common fix for aging Macs.) I found the index incomplete and occasionally incorrect, a problem for any reference tome. Still, the book serves well as a fix-it guide. Mac books become quickly outdated with Apple's introduction of new models and System software, and this guide is no exception. If you have a newer machine, check that it is covered before you shell out for this volume. Minor caveats aside, I recommend it to anyone who needs hardware help with their Mac.
