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.
