The Ultimate Imac Book: Your Definitive Guide to Apple's Consumer Macintosh

This book was very informative and I learned quite a lot about the iBook BUT aside from a bare one line acknowledgement of the battery there was no other info in the entire book about it.On any laptop (PC or Mac) the battery is all important and this book good as it is makes no mention of caring for, replacing or getting the most out of this little doo hickey.

this book is very helpful if you are the owner of an ibook- it tells you all about the ibook- even things that you didn't know

This is a helpful book. I've got a couple of Mr. Sydow's other books. He's good at clarifying complex topics. Maybe it's because he's a computer programmer, or maybe it's because he's written a few "For Dummies" books (I've got "Mac Programming For Dummies" and "Internet For Macs For Dummies: Quick Reference" by him). In any event, he writes clearly and it's a good book.

I've used Windows a lot, and the Mac only a little (my brother's had a Mac for a long time). I've had an iMac for a few months now, but I didn't feel like I was putting it to its best use. This book helped a lot. It has basic information, such as how to get the most out of the Macintosh operating system and your Web browser. It also covers some things which are aren't in other books I have, like how to connect the iMac to another Mac to have a small home network. I connected my iMac to another Mac and a printer, and it worked. I'd recommend this book to anyone with an iMac.
