Hi David,
I started on CPM and moved to DOS, followed by all the Windows versions to 98.
Last week, I bought an iBook running OS X.
A stranger in a strange land, completely mystified by my new machine,
yesterday I spent an hour looking through OS X books and finally picked
your Mac OS X: The Missing i
Manual. It's been very helpful, but I think you may have neglected a
very important group of users.
You explain the differences between the old and new Mac OS's, but I believe
with the introduction of the new iMac and OS X, a lot of PC users will
finally be switching over to Macs, as I did. A chapter comparing how the two
systems work would have been invaluable. Possibly, a whole book on the
subject would be timely.
All the best,
Brian
Hi Brian,
Excellent idea. I'll be adding just such a chapter to the second edition
of the book, as well as writing a little switchers guidebook--a
separate book--this fall. Thank you for the suggestion.
David
Got a question?
Just ask!
