Summary of The iBook for Dummies

Beginning with everything the "absolute computer virgin" needs to know, Pogue--a well-regarded Mac expert--guides you step by step through processes ranging from hooking up the power cord to setting up a wireless network using Airport Cards and Airport Base Stations. Along the way, he provides insight on using the software included with the iBook, surfing the Internet, and working with e-mail, and he suggests products to augment your system.

Particularly noteworthy is the chapter on the System Folder, which provides access to the brains behind the iBook. The glossary of Extensions Folder terms is wonderfully honest, advising you to shut off such unnecessary extensions as the DNSPlugin and Printer Share.

Though his jokes can be a bit hokey at times (Top ten similarities between you and your iBook), his casual tone will lighten up your first iBook experience. And if, like many iBook customers, you're a first-time computer user, iBook for Dummies is required reading. --John Frederick Moore
