Ready to move to the Mac? This incomparable guide helps you make a
smooth transition. New York Times columnist and Missing Manuals
creator David Pogue gets you past three challenges: transferring your
stuff, assembling Mac programs so you can do what you did with Windows,
and learning your way around Mac OS X.
Learning to use a Mac is not a piece of cake, but once you do, the
rewards are oh-so-much better. No viruses, worms, or spyware. No
questionable firewalls or inefficient permissions. Just a beautiful
machine with a thoroughly reliable system. Whether you're using Windows
XP or Windows 7, we've got you covered.
Transfer your stuff. Moving files from a PC to a Mac is the easy
part. This guide gets you through the tricky things: extracting your
email, address book, calendar, Web bookmarks, buddy list, desktop
pictures, and MP3 files.
Re-create your software suite. Big-name programs from Microsoft,
Adobe, and others are available in both Mac and Windows versions. But
hundreds of other programs are Windows-only. Learn the Macintosh
equivalents and how to move data to them.
Learn Mac OS X Lion. Once you've moved into the Macintosh mansion,
it's time to learn your way around. You're in good hands with the author
of Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, the #1 bestselling guide to Mac OS
X.
