Computer

It's little wonder that longtime Windows users are migrating in droves to the new Mac. They're fed up with the virus-prone Windows way of life, and they're lured by Apple's well-deserved reputation for producing great all-around computers that are reliable, user-friendly, well designed, and now - with the $500 Mac mini - extremely affordable, too. Whether you're drawn to the Mac's stability, its stunning digital media suite, or the fact that a whole computer can look and feel as slick as your iPod, you can quickly and easily become a Mac convert. But consider yourself warned: a Mac isn't just a Windows machine in a prettier box; it's a whole different animal and a whole new computing experience. If you're contemplating - or have already made - the switch from a Windows PC to a Mac, you need "Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition". This incomparable guide delivers what Apple doesn't: everything you need to know to successfully and painlessly move to a Mac.
