Book Reviews of Mac OS X Bible, Tiger Edition
Book Review: Great book for anyone.
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently switched to Macs, being a PC user for the past 15 years.
Since I work in a retail store where they sell Macs, I always had the opportunity to "get to know" the system, but I knew I wanted more.
With very little knowledge of Macs and OS X in general I took the jump and bought a Mac. This book along with it.
What I really like about this book, and one of the main reasons why I bought it, is its 900+ pages. I had seen other Tiger books with many less pages which also covered a lot less.
This book taught me well how to set up a new Mac (even though it's pretty self explanatory), how to work with folder permissions, how to install & remove programs, how to optimize the OS and customize it to the way I work. It also helped me connect my Mac to my Windows network.
I also learned how to create user accounts and do software updates, how to work with iPhoto & iMovie, and also a little bit of troubleshooting so you can help your Mac when it's having a little trouble.
I'm very glad I bought this book. I am now able to enjoy & use my Mac to do things I couldn't or even thought of because I didn't know they existed.
You'll also learn keyboard shortcuts, which are very nice and save you a bit of time.
I highly recommend it to anyone switching from PCs, or any earlier adopter of OS X.
