(More customer reviews)The MacMost.com Guide to Switching to the Mac by Gary Rosenzweig is the book I wish I could have read a couple years back when I bought a MacBook.
I heard all of the Mac fanboy chatter about "once you go Mac, you never go back." But I got it, played with it, preferred the PC and went back.
The MacBook was nicely designed, but I was underwhelmed by it after all the hype. In the afterglow of experimenting with it, the MacBook has largely been a coaster for my drinks.
But after reading MacMost.com Guide to Switching to the Mac, I have to reconsider the Mac.
Back when I bought my MacBook, I was excited to edit video with it and got a "Quickstart Guide for iMovie." But those hundreds of pages didn't give me much of a quick start.
Then I looked at this MacMost.com Guide and found the simple basics for iMovie in just a couple pages. And that's typical of this book... it covers all of the questions and issues I had back then about moving over from a PC.
One thing I liked a lot about the MacBook was the built-in camera. I've had a couple Dell laptops with the built-in camera and they didn't measure up for recording video.
Anyhow, I am thinking of giving this Mac thing another try because of this book.
And I'd definitely encourage Mac users to check out the site of the book author, Gary Rosenzweig: http://macmost.com/
