My New Mac: 52 Simple Projects to
Get You Started
Reviewed by Robert Pritchett
Introduction
What do you do with your Mac after
you turn it on? Do you even know how to turn it on and off properly or put it
to sleep? You need a book like My New Mac to make everything easy. The author will show you, step-by-step, how to use
tools like iPhoto to organize your photos, track birthdays with iCal, and clip
and save information from the Internet so you can find it again.
- Organize
your files and folders by color and keyword
- View
stocks, flights, and the weather
- Set
up and manage parental controls to limit your children's computer and Internet
access
- Play
and burn CDs and DVDs
- Transfer
photos from your digital camera to your computer
- Share
songs, images, and documents wirelessly between Macs
What I Learned
I didn't know I could clip a web page in Leopard and then
use it in Dashboard as a widget. Did you? Wallace Wang takes this and 51 other
projects to task in 5 parts in
Basic training, shortcuts, putting the Mac to work, Interneting, and maintaining the Mac. (Yes, I did
read that last part too!)
Conclusion
If you don't like "Macintosh for Dummies", get
this book instead.
