Amazon.com Review Widely regarded as the greatest thing to come out of Apple Computer since the original Macintosh, the iMac is drawing thousands of new people into personal computing with its easy setup and friendly interface. While it's loaded with useful information, this guide doesn't overwhelm new and tentative iMac users. The book assumes that readers know nothing about the iMac and teaches skills that will allow them to explore the computer's capabilities without assistance--all while spouting wry humor.
The book begins its instruction by helping you pull the iMac out of its shipping box, hook up its cables, and turn it on. The author briefly but thoroughly explains how to use the mouse, how to identify and use various interface elements, and what various computer components (such as disk drives) are for. Slightly more complicated features, such as cutting, pasting, and printing, come next, followed by an explanation of the software that ships with the iMac and a good introduction to the Internet. Author David Pogue has a ton of experience writing about the Macintosh--he writes for MacWorld and is the author of the highly regarded Macs for Dummies. Pogue's light, welcoming style is perfect for newcomers. --David Wall
Product Description From the bestselling author of "Macs for Dummies" comes a new book especially geared to Apple's smash-hit, see-through, teal-blue computer, the iMac! In the same light, funny style, Pogue begins at the beginning--with setting up the iMac and turning it on--and guides you all the way onto the Internet and beyond. Special chapters help you manage USB devices (disk drives, speakers, mice, keyboards, scanners, digital cameras) and live a happy life without a floppy drive.
