quite a useful book but it can only go so far. the help stuff on the mac is obviously more detailed, but this was still helpful as a reference.

I bought a MacBook Pro a few months ago. I am not a confident computer user so when my husband bought me this book for Christmas, it seemed like a useful present.However, I find the whole thing rather daunting and most of the stuff in it is either not what I want to do on a computer or just beyond me! It's much better using the Help sections on the computer itself, as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure it would be a good book for those with more advanced computer understanding though.
