“ Very informative and useful. I could easily follow along with what was happening and quickly do it myself.
I think anyone who has a mac with osx, sorry os10, would gain from watching this one. ”

“ May be some informations about "terminal"....
A little bit too "simple" but very interesting for beginners.
It's not "mastering" your Mac but rather "using" your Mac.
Thks at All. Pierre HEES ”

Description
At the end of the day, computers are here to work for us and make life easier ... but if you're new to the Mac, or if you don't have friends to show you the way, it's a fact that your Mac can seem intimidating.
There's lots of hidden tips and tricks that you can only learn with time. Or you can learn them quickly, by watching an expert show you the way ...
This series is designed to make your Mac your friend. It starts with the basics, including working with the Finder and the Dock to quickly locate and launch files and applications. You'll also learn how to set up and use important system applications like Dashboard, and Expos�.
The program moves on to discuss important workflow issues like burning recordable discs and working with disk images and the system Zip tool to save, compress, and transport files.
But best of all, you'll learn keyboard shortcuts, workflow techniques and lots of little tricks that you'll use daily while piloting your computer. There's so much to know, this series shows you how!
