Full Description
The newest Macintosh operating system, Mac OS 9 (and its update, 9.1) has brought definite changes to the Mac, and Robin Williams' blockbuster The Little Mac Book is right there to cover them. With more than one million copies in print, this is one of the bestselling guides of all time for Macintosh beginners. The completely updated and revised seventh edition covers the new features of the Mac OS, including the updated Sherlock search system, new networking and security features, voice recognition, the new Window menu, and increased performance and stability. This guide covers Mac essentials using a warm, friendly tone that doesn't get lost in dense technical text and obscure details. A must-have for Mac newcomers, Robin Williams fans, and veteran Mac users who want to get up to speed with the Mac OS.
