It starts with the basics, and adds a bit more--but doesn't go all the way to the Macintosh Bible extremes. So? I've read lots of them. So, is that I think I enjoyed this one more than any other I've read. It's fun, and funny (which isn't always the same thing). The humour is well- integrated, rather than being merely an overlay of smart-alec comments and insults. Most of all, the book is a gentle work. The facts are solid, the opinions presented as such. At the very least, you can trust this book not to steer you in the wrong direction. copyright Robert M.
