Not for Mac OS-X, May 6, 2007

by D. Richards

Outdated and obsolete.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.

Good Pick!!!!!, October 23, 2006

by Sabina Taylor

I recently bought an IMAC and knew nothing about it. This book is a excellent book if you are new to Mac. This books literally breaks down everything, it even give you shortcuts to different functions. I recommend this book if you know absolutly nothing about a mac. Glad I purchased this book! Actually I made a lot of For Dummies books purchases and found them to be very helpful. I would recommend any for dummies book if you want to become more knowledgeable about anything.

iMac for Dummies, 4th Edition, February 20, 2007

by Alan A. Comery

Good tool. Not as funny as earlier dummies books on Mac's. It was slighty outdated, as my new IMac had newer items included, that were not in book. Still would recommend.

Not For Dummies, August 16, 2007

by A. Dios

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.
