Good computer books make assumptions about the reader: what they do and don'tknow when they pick up the book, and what they want to know when they put it down. For each reader this could be very different; therefore, a book that suits one person may not be the best for another. Mac OS X Leopard: Beyond the Manual makes some assumptions too, ones that tend to differ from other Mac OS X books. First of all, we assume that you have used a computer in that past: that you know how to use a mouse and you know the proper place to stick a DVD to get it to play in your computer. We won't be showing you these things. (We will however demonstrate to our Mac converts how to "right click" on a trackpad with only one button!). Second, we assume you know what you want to do with your computer. We won't waste your time showing you specifically, step-by-step how to order a pizza from Pizza Galaxy in Milwaukee Wisconsin on the with Safari(though, when you're done with this book we think you'll be able to do this just fine... if such a place exists anyway). Finally, we assume that you are a reasonably intelligent person with who realizes the value of such phrases as "Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime" and can imagine how that might apply to a computer book. If this sounds like you, then we think you'll find this book rewarding.
