That's a matter of opinion. I didn't buy the book or CD, but I got along just fine coming from windows to the mac. I also know people who did buy it, and say they learned more on their own. So hey, to each their own. 75 bucks is a little steep for a book that most people who are not scared to try new things, can learn on their own.

Well worth the money. On Sat, 6 Apr 2013 18:13:08 -0500, you wrote: >Hello. I hope this day finds you well. Starting on Monday, April 8 I >will join the MacWorld. I figure I have been an iOS user for about three years so now it is time to start using a Mac. My first machine is a MacBook Pro 13 inch with 250 gig hard drive. I believe it is a mid or late 2010 model. I cannot remember exactly what it is, however it does run Mountain lion and it will give me a chance to get my feet wet without spending two or $3000 upfront. It looks like I have some guides to read, however I do not suspect it will be all that difficult. I like learning new things and like the challenge of new operating systems. I know DOS, Linux, and windows very well. So I suspect learning the Mac operating system will not be too terrible. I already know about some of the things to watch out for. For example I should not think of Mac OS like windows. Instead I will think of Mac OS like Mac OS. I believe that thinking of an operating system in terms of its own ways and itself will be the best way.
