*Hmmmmm*

To the Mac faithful, that's the lovely sound of the system starting up -- soon to be followed by the initial smiling computer icon. Unfortunately, as with many things in life, sometimes bad things happen. Expecting to receive a greeting from your familiar, cheerful icon, you hear chimes of doom and a frowning computer appears.

Have no fear! Ms. Robin Williams, expert Mac author, is here! The last chapter of The Little Mac Book quickly runs through possible scenarios as to why your machine would be unhappy. But reading The Little Mac Book is like taking preventive medicine. Williams spends the first 300+ pages of The Little Mac Book introducing readers to the fascinating inner workings of the Macintosh system. With a greater understanding of the Mac's files and folders, you may never come to meet either the Sad Mac or -- more ominously -- the Dead Mac.

With a style both chatty and informative, Williams has crafted a guide blissfully free of heavy-handed techno-garble. Instead, she provides a tour simple enough for the newest Mac owner and complete enough to teach experienced users a thing or two.

Book Description
With over 500,000 copies in print, The Little Mac Book is one of the best-selling guides for Macintosh beginners of all time. This "little" book with the big content covers the essentials of operating a Mac using a friendly tone that doesn't get mired down in the details. The Little Mac Book is considered required reading for all new Mac users, and it's a key reference for any Mac user's bookshelf. For the fifth edition, Robin has completely updated the book to cover all the new features of Mac OS 8. Beginners learn the Mac basics, from starting up and shutting down to using the mouse to working with the Finder, menus, folders, and icons. As their familiarity with the Mac grows, users learn to work with fonts, the System Folder, control panels, and more. All users will appreciate the coverage of the new interface and the all new Internet and intranet capabilities. From its detailed TOC to its extensive (and much praised) index and all the wonderful material in between, The Little Mac Book, Fifth Edition, is a must-have for Mac newcomers, Robin Williams' fans, and any veteran Mac users who want to get up to speed with OS 8.
