Summary: Full of padding & childish prattle
Comment: Designed for school teachers and there ignorant,insolent students.Very irritating to read.With the usual padding to justify 900 pages.Annoying when your looking for an answer.The simple things are over explained (as usual with these books).If you bailed out of windows from frustration , don't buy this book.The info's there (hence 3 stars)but in a world where every device has a program that has to be learned who whats to read endless silly woffle when you looking for an answer?
Where are the manuals with intelligent schematics diagrams that show you the logic of steps so you learn the underlying thought flow and therefore learn where to look for the answers.One of Google's great virtues.

Summary: Invaluable to me.
Comment: After 11 years of Windows use I purchased my first Mac about 6 months ago and the book, Switching To The Mac has been an invaluable aid to me in learning the new system. I just cannot tell you how many times I have referred to the manual. I have also purchased two other Missing Manuals. I would recommend all three to anyone.

Summary: awesome book
Comment: I bought this book when I needed a laptop and was trying to decide between a pc and a macbook. The book explained the differences very well so I understood what I was getting and what I was giving up by purchasing a mac. I decided to buy a Macbook and since then, this book has been invaluable. I am not ignorant but I'm far from being a geek and this book is awesome for explaining how to do things in a straight forward manner, with explicit step by step directions. If you are buying a mac for the first time - this book is the best $20 you'll ever spend.

Summary: Wish I was still missing this manual
Comment: Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition (Missing Manual)
This manual does a much better job of pointing out the differences between Microsoft and Leopard but does little to help someone making the switch from one platform to the other. It's a good thing I paid for Apple support and not depended on being able to get a manual to help me implement the changes and processes I need to work on Apple.
