Summary: easy to read
Comment: easy to read and understand. Its like your sitting right next to a REAL person teaching you about MAC use. However, it would be good if there was more info on the "tricks" of for instance transfering data from your PC or transfering songs from a ipod (that was pc formatted) into your mac. Then again, that could be a whole new book. This is the nuts and bolts of operating a mac. Pretty good and served its purpose anyway.
