    Making the Switchby Anonymous

    October 26, 2009: Having used a PC for numerous years at home and at work but getting increasingly frustrated with the viruses and computer freezes despite all necessary precautions, I decided to take the leap and move over to a Mac. Wanting to gain a behind-the-scenes look at what a Mac before purchasing it - more than and different from what I could get at an Apple Store - I found this book to be extremely helpful, as Pogue makes many comparisons between the two systems, thus allowing the reader the luxury of "experiencing" a Mac based on what's known and comfortable on the PC side. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is either contemplating the PC-to-Mac switch or has already decided to make the switch. The book is an invaluable resource.

    April 20, 2009: Well done. Easy to read for a manual. Recommend to anyone purchasing either their first mac or someone who needs a reference manual to which to refer owning their 2nd or 3rd mac.
