Summary: This is an OLD book!!
Comment: Take note of what year this was published: *2002*!
That makes it 6 years out of date as of this writing, and
has little to do with the iMac that I just bought.
If you just got an old, used, early model iMac, than this
might do you some good.

Comment: Since I bought a Brand New iMac Aluminum... I thought the books that Amazon recomended would be about that machine... Instead they were antiques and did not help me with the new iMac Aluminum.... Very Very Disappointed
Customer Rating:
Summary: This tells you everything (almost) about the Imac!
Comment: This book teaches you so much--Apple, like most computer manufacturer's--tell's you almost nothing about the computer when you buy it. And this is coming from a first-time computer buyer, not a techno-geek. END

Summary: Excellent book for new Mac user!
Comment: I bought my first Mac, an iMac but I couldn't get anywhere with it, because there wasn't a real manual. Just a little card that got me as far as turning it on and that's all. I bought Mr. Steinberg's book, "Sams Teach Yourself the iMac in 24 Hours" and followed the instructions. It didn't take me very long before I was sending faxes to a business colleague in New York. This is a great book, easy reading, and I enjoyed it immensely. END

Summary: Outstanding for the beginner....
Comment: I am a complete computer idiot. Before I bought the iMac from the local CompUSA store here in Northern California, I didn't know a mouse from a menu. I sat down before the iMac and just sat, not knowing what to do next. I ordered a copy of "Sams Teach Yourself the iMac in 24 Hours" and read it cover to cover (no it didn't take 24 hours). Then I had the courage to hook up the iMac, and, following the author's detailed instructions, I had it hooked up in minutes and that day I was connected to the Internet, via America Online. In a week or two, I had a printer and a scanner, and I got through it, relatively unscathed, because of this marvelous book. Highly recommended!
