Customer Reviews & Comments
I think this a must have book for anyone wanting to learn how to learn more about Mac's and how to support them. It's easy reading and you gain a lot of knowledge on how to use the operating system.
The best part about this book is that it prepares you for the ACHDS test. The contents of this book follows the same material as the recommended course at Apple for passing the ACHDS. If you read this book and follow the excercises, then I am confident that you will be able to pass the test. I got a 96% =)
Now if you want to be a power mac user, then you probably need to get another book--this is not a mac os x bible.
