ABOUT THIS BOOK
Specifically illustrated for “Tiger”, Mac OS X 10.4, most of the techniques presented within this book apply to all versions of Mac® OS X — some can even be applied to Mac OS 9.
The information inside this book is designed to help you become more efficient in more of your Macintosh interactions. You’ll not only gain some “speed” in working with the Mac, but you’ll be more productive, make fewer mistakes, lose some of that “What just happened?” frustration and diminish a little more of that “technological stress” we can sometimes have.
Why does this book call itself an “efficiency” book? Isn’t it just another book on “tips” and “shortcuts”? No. It really does approach Macintosh usage from a “how the user can be more efficient” standpoint.
The information within this book has been designed to be clear and concise with illustrations at every opportunity and a complete index at the back. Each new “Efficiency” starts on a left page. Because of this two-page- spread approach, you get the maximum amount of information with fewer page turns.
The text is relatively large in order to be easier on your eyes, secondary titles help to separate themselves from other areas and each “Efficiency” appears in two ways: a short, quickstart section at the top followed by a detailed, step-by-step explanation, including illustrations. For those of you who just need an overview, you only have to read a few sentences. If you’d like a more in-depth understanding of a particular “Efficiency”, you can dig into the added content. The layout of this book will also come in handy after you’ve gone through all the information. Later, any time you simply need a memory jogger, just jump to an “Efficiency” and read the quickstart section at the top!

PRODUCING THIS BOOK
We are very proud that Macintosh Efficiency is printed in the U.S.A. In fact, when you place your order through our Vantages store, only then is your copy printed. This means extra copies are not simply sitting around in a warehouse somewhere hoping to be purchased or waiting to be sent off to a land fill.
FROM THE AUTHOR
This is my 9th Apple computer book. I've owned a Macintosh-only teaching, troubleshooting, consulting business (Insight Data) for more than 20-years. I wrote "Macintosh Efficiency" because I've seen Macintosh users, from "beginner" to "expert" have problems finding their way around various Macintosh tasks or simply wasting their own time because they don't understand how the Macintosh "thinks". If Macintosh users gave themselves some tme to learn the foundation principles of how this great computer works, they would simply be more efficient. This book has been written to help you build that foundation. |
