The Little iBook Book (Little Books (Peachpit Press)) Book

Almost anyone who's used a Macintosh long enough to consider him- or herself a "Mac user" knows about Robin Williams, author of The Little Mac Book and several other well-loved guides to desktop publishing. She's always used her books to welcome newcomers to the Mac community, and here she teams up with John Tollett on The Little iBook Book. This latest addition to the Mac canon focuses on Apple's swoopy new notebook computer, its Mac OS 8.6, its applications software, and the tricks of the mobile-computing trade. Williams and Tollett don't disappoint, delivering advice well-suited for those getting into personal computing by way of an iBook. The most interesting portion of this book deals with connecting to the Internet under Mac OS while traveling (the section has relevance to users of non-iBook Mac portables too). The authors explain how to safely hook your computer to phone ports in hotels and public facilities (though they don't get into slicing open phone cables and manipulating individual wires--a need that arises in certain really gnarly telecom situations). They also show how to adjust the iBook's dialer software for mobile connectivity (mostly with MindSpring in the United States) and explain how to bill your Internet-access calls to your calling card. They also give a fine overview of the accessories available for spiffing up your streamlined companion. --David Wall Topics covered: Basic iBook anatomy, Mac OS 8.6 and standard software, AirPort technology (in summary), and Internet connectivity at home and on the road.Read More

  • Product Description

    Who better to extol the virtues of mobile computing and familiarize users with the nifty, new features of the iBook than Robin Williams, best-selling author of The Little Mac Book, The Little iMac Book, The Non-Designer's Design Book, and many other titles?

For those readers completely new to computing, read The Little Mac Book first.
