"Those who have recently purchased a Macintosh, and are unfamiliar with its use, will find this book an essential hand-holding experience that moves them rapidly from learning how to turn the computer on and off, to fixing unexpected problems that might arise. Through the experience of completing 52 non-intimidating projects, the reader learns how to control all of the everyday aspects of computer usage so that they can work and play trouble-free."

"Wang's book is a fine text, written with knowledge and wit. It's an easy read and for the most part, presents information in a very organized and linear fashion. The subtitle "52 Simple Projects to Get You Started" are 52 (more or less) common tasks the new Mac user will likely want to know how to do."
