Mac Answers! Certified Tech Support

Rating:
Summary: Too basic
Review: Disregard the foreward by Guy Kawasaki that this book is the "...most comprehensive book about the Mac available". The material in this book seems to be targeted mostly toward beginning to moderately knowledgeable users. If you are a Mac administrator or other professional looking for an advanced reference, look elsewhere. Actually, I'm not sure where to look myself; most of these books are largely underpowered. Where does a Macintosh expert find answers to the really tough dilemmas encountered in a large, mixed platform, production environment? Definately not in this book. However, If you're a new computer user or a Mac convert, I would recommend this selection. I do respect Bob LeVitus as a Macintosh authority, but again, this book is too simplistic in it's contents and writing style. It's definately not worthy of the second half of it's title, "Certified Tech Support".

Review: Hmm, Well folks as a professinal desktop support person, I found this essentially good for the "refresher course" I needed having been part of the "Dark Side/PC world" for several years.

However I'd caution truely "Novice" folks who expect this to make them experts!

Happy geeking/macking/troubleshooting...

Review: The book despite the title doesn't delve any deeper into mac troubleshooting than the troubleshooting guide that comes with the computer.

Summary: Easy to use reference for beginners
Review: This is a well laid out book for beginning computer users. It is topic driven in a Q&A format.

The information is easy to read but does not delve too deeply in any subject. The book is definitely geared towards new computer users with answers to questions like "what's an ISP?"

It is well priced and worth having around just because it is so easy to use.
