This book is the Mac-to-Windows switcher's best friend. Gary Rosenzweig will help any Windows user move to the Mac painlessly, quickly relearn the tasks they've been performing every day on Windows, and discover powerful Mac features they've never seen before. Once they're fully comfortable with their new Macs, they'll turn to this book constantly for quick reference information on everything from creating DVDs to customizing their systems. Rosenzweig covers both Mac OS X software and Mac hardware: everything from the absolute basics (getting used to the Mac mouse) to advanced topics (creating great video content on the Mac). Unlike some competitive books, this one reflects the way people actually use their computers nowadays. For example, Rosenzweig's email coverage doesn't just address Apple Mail: he also shows how to set up and use today's popular Web-based email systems. Among the many topics covered here:
* Choosing the right new Mac.
* Getting comfortable with the Mac's hardware and Mac OS X software.
* Navigating the Finder and learning how Mac files are organized.
* Making the most of the software that comes with a Mac.
* Moving stuff from Windows to Mac.
* Setting up and using Internet, email, and instant messaging connections.
* Sharing, backing up, and archiving files.
* Getting and using Mac business and productivity applications.
* Importing, managing, and working with photos, music, and video.
* Running Windows on the Mac.
* Customizing Macs.
