A 10-year Windows veteran, I finally cut the cord and moved to MacOSX. I'm only a quarter through the book and my mind is already blown away. I find myself reading and re-reading, trying to memorize simple keyboard shortcuts.

I've delved into later chapters, only to discover I need to return to the basics.

Pogue's sense of humor helps a lot. In fact, it's a need for such a thick book, and a thick book is a need for the topic covered in such detail.

The book isn't exactly organized as an encyclopedia or dictionary.

But newbies to MacOSX, and I suspect, veterans as well, will do well to have a copy nearby.
