1.0 out of 5 stars Not for Mac OS-X, May 6, 2007

By	D. Richards "Anony Mouse" (Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Outdated and obsolete. Of little use for my new iMac running on OS-X. Amazon was gracious enough to take the book back and refund my money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Pick!!!!!, October 23, 2006

By	Sabina Taylor (Louisiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently bought an IMAC and knew nothing about it. This book is a excellent book if you are new to Mac. This books literally breaks down everything, it even give you shortcuts to different functions. I recommend this book if you know absolutly nothing about a mac. Glad I purchased this book! Actually I made a lot of For Dummies books purchases and found them to be very helpful. I would recommend any for dummies book if you want to become more knowledgeable about anything.
