About the Book

The Little Mac OS X BookSimply put, there is no other computer book author who documents the Macintosh operating system the way Robin Williams does. With the recent release of Mac OS X, she comes to the aid of new Mac owners looking for a friendly introduction to computer basics, as well as veteran Macintosh users awaiting a how-to guide for this brand-new operating system. The Little Mac OS X Book shows readers all they need to know about Mac basics: starting up, using the mouse, and working with menus, folders, and icons. Readers will also learn how to connect to the Internet, how to word process, and how to use Sherlock to search for files on your hard drive or for information on the Web. Fully re-written from the ground up, The Little Mac OS X Book also covers all the new features of OS X such as protected memory and true multitasking, as well as the new Aqua interface and the Dock. Robin Williams provides a gentle, friendly guide to the Macintosh and OS X for new and experienced users alike.
