Taking its cues from the iMac, the sleek new iBook, Apple's Internet-ready and blazingly fast new portable, successfully combines high style and low price, guaranteeing it both buzz and sales. Who better to extol the virtues of mobile computing and familiarize you with the iBook's nifty features than Robin Williams, the bestselling author of The Little Mac Book, The Little iMac Book, and The Non-Designer's series? Because Williams and coauthor John Tollett are on the go all the time themselves, they know what you need to know to get the most out of your iBook. Williams and Tollett show you how to navigate the ins and outs of computing at home and on the road, with conversational explanations and entertaining illustrations. Learn everything from desktop basics to how to use the iBook's innovative wireless connection feature. This slim volume is as portable as the iBook itself, and an indispensable guide for beginners and intermediate-level users alike. Platform: MAC
