Book Review: A quick and easy reference for making the switch
Summary: 5 Stars

People are a bit reluctant to make big changes when it comes to technology, especially computers. Just when you think you've learned all you could about your Mac, the great minds in Cupertino go and change the whole scheme of things. Mac OS X has caused a lot of Mac users to wonder, worry and squirm. I've watched a more than a few Mac users being dragged to OS X kicking and screaming-but it was really for their own good. In fact, many Mac users are still finding it a bit scary to make the big switch.

Well, fear no more. The good people at O'Reilly-publishers of such indispensable references as Mac OS X In A Nutshell, Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Mac OS X Hints: Jaguar Edition and Office X For Macintosh: The Missing Manual-have slapped a picture of a German Shephard on a great little paperback entitled Mac OS X Pocket Guide written by Chuck Toporek. This is the second edition and covers Jaguar with over 250 hints and tips for everyone. It doesn't matter what your computer skill level is, this handbook will show you what you need to get moving in the OS X fast lane.

This book is a series of individual, short hints and tips and how-tos, organized by your approach to the new Mac OS:

Are you a Classic Mac user? The Mac OS X Pocket Guide will give you step-by-step plain English instructions to transfer all your important files and give you side-by-side comparisons to explain the OS X equivalents of the Classic functions that you've grown to love and need.

Many Windows users want to make the switch-now there is no excuse. Much like the Classic switcher, the Windows switcher will also enjoy the ease of learning presented in this book on how to transfer and convert all those valuable files from their PCs. Again, there are many tips and hints with Windows to OS X equivalents to make the Switcher feel more comfortable.
