Summary: "A Mac "missing manual" for beginners"
New to Mac or just not a computer whiz, this book is the most readable and easy to understand "missing manual" for Mac users I have yet to find. Does not try to answer every question but covers the basics. Of the three I bought, it is the one I go to first and the one I use the most.

Summary: "could be even simpler"
I think the book could be made even simpler for us real dummies. Some of the directions are hard to follow because we are not used to the terminology used. It's a good thing I have a daughter that can bail me out of most of the trouble I get into!

Summary: "mac computers for oldsters"
I felt this publication is a bit out of date. I have a brand new Mac and the book talks about help as it was given some years back. Book is not much use to me.
