You got a Mac Welcome to the club Now how on Earth do you use it?
Now that the joy of getting your first Mac is over, it's time to get serious: learning how to use it
Macs are obviously not Windows machines, so there's a small learning curve. Nothing complicated, I promise.
The goal of this book (which is based off of Mac OS Catalina, 10.15) is to teach you the ropes, so you can start enjoying your new computer. If you are looking for a thick doorstop of a book that covers things you have never heard of and will never use, then there are more comprehensive books out there. But if you are switching from Windows and just want to know how to use your computer, then I'm excited to help
