About the Book

Apple has shrunk its whiz-kid show-off, the iMac, into a handy laptop called the iBook. Yep, the desktop computer that resembles a king-size scratch-and-sniff now fits inside your backpack and can be used virtually anywhere! Award-winning author David Pogue introduces you to the bells, whistles, and gadgetry of the iBook that has carried on-the-go personal computing to another level. The iBook For Dummies takes you all the way from the On button to the Internet, with absolutely no technical expertise required. Explore the inner workings of the iBook, from the system folder to fonts and printing options. Then dive into AppleWorks, surf the Web, and try out gobs of free software available to you as an iBook user. If you get stuck, Pogue's clear presentation and sage advice help you troubleshoot your way out of any tricky situation.
