Macs For Dummies Introduction What an amazing time to get to know the Mac. For years these elegantly designed computers have been a model of simplicity and virusfree stability. Now Macs are undergoing stunning changes that make these machines even harder to resist. Apple’s seismic embrace of Intel means you, Mr. or Ms. Computer Buyer, can have your cake and eat it too. (I love a good cliché when you need it.) You can benefit from what remains the best marriage in personal computing (the blessed union between Mac hardware and Mac software). But you no longer have to ditch the Microsoft Windows–based software you currently use out of habit, business obligations, or because you don’t know any better. Indeed, this book is partially targeted at Windows vets who are at least thinking about defecting to the Mac. It is also squarely aimed at people who are new to computers — and the Internet — period. And though this is primarily a book for beginners, I trust people who have already dabbled with computers in general and Macs in particular will also find it useful. About This Book A word about the For Dummies franchise I’m now proud to be a part of. These books are built around the idea that all of us feel like dopes whenever we tackle something new, especially when the subject at hand (technology) reeks of a jargon-y stench. I happen to know you don’t have a dummy bone in your body, and the publishers at Wiley know it too. Au contraire. (How dumb can you be if you speak French?) If anything, you’ve already demonstrated smarts by purchasing this book. You’re ready to plunge into the best computing environment I know of. Because you’re so intelligent, you’re probably wondering “who is this guy asking me for 400 pages or so of my time?” Go ahead and read my bio, which appears just before the Table of Contents.
