Love my Apple,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY Mac OS X Tiger (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)) (Paperback)
This book is great. My first computer and an Apple. Never touched any kind of computer before this and
starting rather late in life. I'm amazed....I learned with this book and Apple's great phone Tech support. Much less intimidating than wading through pages of text. I will do that eventually, but this gave me a great start.

New computer user,
By Grandma "Ann" (NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY Mac OS X Tiger (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)) (Paperback)
I had never used a computer before I purchased a Mac. A friend told me about the "teaching yourself visually" book. It is such a wonderful help to me. I am amazed at the things I have done in the few weeks I have used it. I have recommended it to friends. I have also told them to go to amazon.com to find it.
