  Book Information

You finally took the plunge and bought a Mac. Whether yours
is a MacBook, Mac Pro, Mac mini, or iMac &mdash it's still a
Mac, and it runs the Macintosh operating system, Mac OS X.

But what do you do with your Mac after you turn it on? Do
you even know how to turn it on and off properly or put it
to sleep? You need a book like My New Mac to make everything
easy.

Wallace Wang, author of the best-selling Steal This Computer
Book, will show you, step-by-step, how to use tools like
iPhoto to organize your photos, track birthdays with iCal,
and clip and save information from the Internet so you can
find it again. You'll find simple projects that will show
you how to:

Organize your files and folders by color and keyword
View stocks, flights, and the weather
Set up and manage parental controls to limit your
children's computer and Internet access
Play and burn CDs and DVDs
Transfer photos from your digital camera to your computer
Share songs, images, and documents wirelessly between Macs

Don't put off learning how to use your new computer. Let
Wallace Wang show you the ropes with My New Mac.
