Memo to the reader from San Francisco

I can't believe you really read that book. I found tons of things in Mr. Steinberg's book that I didn't know and I've been working with Macs for years. I couldn't name five people who know how to really set up their monitors, for example, yet "Upgrading & Troubleshooting Your Mac" told me how to use the onscreen menus, what all those strange functions mean and how to calibrate the color. I don't know of any other book with this sort of information. Maybe that reader from San Francisco knew all this, but most folks dont.

Great for new Mac users

Being computer litterate, but knowing just a few facts on Macs. This book has helped me through the transition from "the other platform" as Gene describes it. Easy to follow and fun to read(even for a non-native english speaker as myself). You feel as having an informal conversation with the author thougout. Hard to put down, you will want to finish it as soon as you read the first chapter. If you know a bit of hardware this book is a great guide for conecting and upgrading your Mac.

Awesome

I am an experienced Mac user. I've worked on a Mac since 1984, having bought the very first model after watching that famous SuperBowl commercial. Despite all the experience I thought I had, I learned lots of new information when I read "Upgrading & Troubleshooting Your Mac." I recommend it for all users, beginners to experienced alike.

Essential Guide for Mac Users

It turns out this guide has been my most popular gift to Mac owners from Power PC users right up to iMac and G3/4 users. Gene Steinberg, "Mac Night Owl" is arguably one of the world's leading Mac enthusiasts and one of the best authors in the computer book field. Steinberg is also easy to read and a great organizer. I highly recommend this book.
