 Big waste of time and $$$$ August 11, 2008
I. M. Nodummy (CT, USA)
Utterly useless! This thing reads like an add for Apple! Have just switched from a PC to an iMac, I thought this book would be useful - it is not. Difficult to use and never gets to the point. All hype and no substance. Very little useful info in a rather fat book.
 Switching to Mac? Great Book! July 23, 2008
Rebecca D. Ayers
I had used Mac many many years ago. So, being fed up totally with Windows after they switched to Vista, I decided to give Imac a try. WOW. Best computer EVER, but with difference. This book follows all "for Dummies" series with average Joe language and easy to follow tips and tools. A must for all Macs.

Five weeks have elapsed since I ordered and paid for this book. It has not yet been delivered to me. I have tried to contact Amazon to ask them to either refund my costs (book price & freight) but only received an automated email advising me that I should track it myself. I have purchased several books over the years from both the USA & the UK but I believe that this is the last time that I will bother. This is the second time that books have gone missing and on one occasion I waited several weeks for a delivery from a book that that was supplied by an Amazon agent who was less than impressed when I gave him a poor performance rating. NOT GOOD ENOUGH AMAZON. It looks as though you've lost the personal touch altogether. Russ Railton.

Apple iMac Desktop with 20" Display MA876LL/A (2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, SuperDrive) The book started well enough but as it went on it became a book for people more advanced than me. Alot of things were not covered to the extent that it didn't lead anywhere. also did not have a glossary of terms, and that left me blind to what I was reading. Anyway I use as a go to when I get lost.

Outdated and obsolete. Of little use for my new iMac running on OS-X. Amazon was gracious enough to take the book back and refund my money.
