| It's little wonder that longtime Windows users are migrating in droves to the new Mac. They're fed up with the virus-prone Windows way of life, and they're lured by Apple's reputation for producing great all-around computers that are reliable, user-friendly, well designed, and now - with the Mac mini - extremely affordable, too.
Whether you're drawn to the Mac's stability, its digital media suite, or the fact that a whole computer can look and feel as slick as your iPod, you can quickly and easily become a Mac convert. But consider yourself warned: a Mac isn't just a Windows machine in a prettier box; it's a whole different animal and a whole new computing experience.
If you're contemplating - or have already made - the switch from a Windows PC to a Mac, you need Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition. This guide delivers what Apple doesn't: everything you need to know to successfully and painlessly move to a Mac.
Missing Manual series creator and author David Pogue teams up with 17-year-old whiz kid and founder of GoldfishSoft (www.goldfishsoft.com) Adam Goldstein to cover every aspect of switching to a Mac - things like transferring email, files, and addresses from a PC to a Mac; getting acquainted with the Mac's interface; adapting to Mac versions of familiar programs (including Microsoft Office); setting up a network to share files with PCs and Macs; and using the printers, scanners, and other peripherals you already own. | |
