Amazon.com Review
The Mac probably has the easiest-to-use operating system yet created--but this book will make it even easier and allow you to take advantage of hundreds of productivity shortcuts, undocumented tricks, and hidden features of Macintosh software and hardware. Includes a CD with 90 programs and award-winning software. (We've even kept a copy for our Mac users here at Amazon.com Books.)

5.0 out of 5 stars
A "must-have" for the serious and not so serious Mac hack.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Macworld Mac & Power Mac Secrets (The Secrets Series) (Paperback)
I've been working exclusively on the Mac for nearly seven years, yet each chapter of this book unlocked another great time saver or just plain fun secret! It also demystifies technically cryptic computer jargon. It's a logically structured, easy read. Chapters cover the basics to the advanced. Macintosh unraveled from memory to modem! The included CD-ROM contains very useful items such as ResEdit and File Buddy, that allow you to roll up your sleeves and dig around inside your programs. A true treat from beginning to end! I can't wait to read their next edition

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great Macintosh book for all levels of users,
By A Customer
This review is from: Macworld Mac & Power Mac Secrets (The Secrets Series) (Paperback)
This book, written by two of Macworld magazine's top authors,is extremely informative. It is written not only for thefirst-time user of Macintosh computers, but also for the Mac guru. Everything it talks of finishes with at least 2 or 3 pages of extremely useful tips. The only flaw found in this book was the fact that by the time the book is on the shelf, some information is out of date. Also, some users of outdated technology will find the tips to be only for the newer systems. Of course, the CD-ROM included has much of the info for the older user.
