From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
[edit] About This Book
This book is a comprehensive guide to Mac OS X Leopard, the latest version of the operating system that runs on Apple's Macintosh computers.
[edit] Who is This Book For?
This book is written for both new and experienced users alike. If you are a new Mac user, you can use this book to familiarize yourself with the Mac environment. If you are a more experienced user, you can use it to learn about advanced features that will make using your Mac easier and more enjoyable.
However, this book cannot be everything for everyone. If you have never used a computer before, you should learn the basics of computing before you read this book. Likewise, if you already know Mac OS X like the back of your hand and want to learn about the operating system's underpinnings, you probably won't find what you're looking for here. You may find Advanced Mac OS X Leopard a better fit.
[edit] What Does This Book Discuss?
