I am a first time Mac owner, and I thought this would be just what I needed.IF the authorspent less time on being cute,and more on being informative,it might work.There were so many things that were barely touched on including"Mail"that if you are a first time Mac user this book does little to make you feel comfortable with it. Spend a few more dollars and get the"The Missing Manual Leopard Edition. David Pogue takes up almost 900 pages toexplain what you need to know as opposed to"Dummies" 450 pages.
