The Macintosh Bible (6th Edition)

Like the Macintosh itself, The Macintosh Bible is a breeze to navigate, is filled with stylish icons to guide the way, and is much more powerful than it appears. From system software to hardware purchases, the "Dirty Dozen" contributors have painstakingly compiled a guide to the computer family that inspires the most devotion.

Good tips, hot features, bad features, and warnings are marked with appropriate icons, as are sections dealing specifically with PowerBook and Power Macintosh features. Advice ranges from the very basic to the more advanced without sacrificing the easy tone of the writing, making this a volume for all levels.

You'll learn how to configure your Mac to avoid potential conflicts, how to manage real and virtual memory, and how to fix common and unusual problems that remain specific to certain models. The book offers great troubleshooting advice and application overviews. All computer tomes should be required to feature an appendix similar to the one in The Macintosh Bible, which outlines steps to avoid eye irritation, back and neck pain, and other computer-related health issues.
