Introduction
For several years novir, a bunch of Macintosh enthusiasts have been putting together a book called the Macintosh Bible. Its clarity and humor have made it far-and-away the best-selling Mac book ever (coming up on a million copies in print) but its 1250-page heft and $32 price scare away many Mac beginners.
That's understandable—^you just v^rant to learn how to use the computer, not become an expert on it. That's why we created this book.
A supremely talented editor named John Kadyk strode off into the lush rainforest of tips, tricks, shortcuts and product evaluations that make up the Macintosh Bible, machete in hand. He selected only the freshest, tenderest, most digestible entries—those that beginning Mac users wrill find the most nutritious. Then he spent many moons editing, reorganizing, updating, rewriting, simplifying and adding to them. Finally, he emerged with this superb little book in his trembling, malarial hand.
If this isn't the most useful, most readable and most enjoyable beginning Mac book ever published, we'll eat our hats (and after John's sojourn in the rainforest, that's saying something—he has to keep his hat on a leash to stop it from wandering off).
""T^ is the gift to be simple, and we've made this book as clear and
JL easy to follow as possible. We've tried to always define terms when they're introduced, and to present ideas in a logical order. But that doesn't mean the book is stiff and dull—far from it (as you'll see).
One way we liven things up is with icons—^little cartoons that appear in the text to guide you to information you're interested in. There are ten of them:
