I have purchased three books from you, Garage Band,Switchers Guide,and Mac OS 101

I like them very much. They are very informative, and it's much better not having to read everything, I hope to get a couple more in the future.
Yours sincerely,
Reginald Davies.

Good, expecially if are novice with Mac :)

I enjoyed this guide; the conversational tone and the interaction between two characters nicely counterpoints the switches between operating systems and helps bring forward similarities and differences between Mac OS X and Windows XP. The use of Parallels is probably necessary for video continuity and due to the use of the specific screen recording program, but adds some elements to the UI that are extraneous to Windows, and therefore may result in lower confidence for new OS X users.

The features covered are comprehensive, if sometimes a bit lacking in depth (see for example the chapter on application installation); but ultimately the cost/benefit ratio is excellent - this is one free product I am happy to recommend.

The material covered is excellent but, probably because of advancing old age, he goes through it almost too fast for me
