Get Started on your Mac Summary

Get Started on your Mac by Rod Lawton

Are you looking to get the best out your new Mac, either as a complete novice or as a convert from a Windows PC?

Or are you looking to learn about Microsoft Office 2008 or the latest updates of Apple's latest iWork suite and its iLife applications?

Make sure you're getting the most out of your machine and understand its full potential. Get Started on your Mac offers a wider, more beginner-friendly scope - an all-in-one reference for those who want to understand the basic concepts rather than the in-depth technicalities.

Focusing on the iLife applications which are bundled with Macs including email, iPhoto, iCal, iMovie, iTunes and others, it will help you to enjoy the full Mac experience, and see its appeal as a user-friendly computer that's ready to be used straight away. Learn to live life to the full with your music, your photos, DVDs and email.

With straightforward writing from expert authors, the Teach Yourself computing series cuts through the 'technobabble', giving you easy and enjoyable access to all of the computer skills you want to acquire.
