5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure 31 July 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Very simple! You want to learn about Macs and enjoy learning, buy this book. You will laugh as you learn. This was a pleasure to read, as are all of Mr. Pogue's books. I think a 5 star rating is not enough. This deserves many, many, many, many more stars. If you don't enjoy this book, get a P.C. Eileen

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest Mac book I have ever found 31 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book is by far the best book for beginner Mac users or anyone for that fact. I have had years of experience with Macs and bought the book for my mother. I told her I would read it to see if any of it would help her. I read the whole thing the first day and couldn't put it down. The humor and simplicity of the book made it very easy to read. I would suggest it to anyone even if you already know everything and anything about Macs.
