Summary: Bought for my 80-Year-Old Parents
Comment: This is the book for someone who knows virtually nothing about the MAC OS X Tiger operating system. My father uses it. He is 80 and not computer savvy but it's helping him may his way using his computer.

Summary: Should be Mac OS X Tiger for Beginners ONLY
Comment: Really basic stuff. If you're a complete newcomer to computers AND to Mac OS X, then this should fit fine. If you're already familiar with Windows, other books are probably better. I don't regret the purchase, but I'd hoped for a bit more depth.
