Description:
Be warned: How to Do Everything with Your iMac won't show you how to use your iMac to prepare a salad or locate lost golf balls. It will teach you how to set up an iMac, connect it to other computers (locally and via the Internet), and use all sorts of iMac software for business and pleasure. Author Todd Stauffer devotes a significant amount of text to using AppleWorks software. He explains how to format letters, perform calculations with spreadsheets, create graphs, and draw pictures with this productivity suite. He also includes coverage of Kai's Photo Soap and Quicken, along with information on using Internet software from Microsoft and Netscape. The author mixes expert, fact-rich prose with step-by-step procedures that ought to solve almost any problem you encounter. The real pleasure of reading this book derives from Stauffer's writing style. He's funny without being flip or sounding strained; he's technically accurate without being tedious, and the information he includes is comprehensive without being dull. His style enables you to read this book away from your iMac and still come away more knowledgeable about your computer. --David Wall
