Hi,
I am very much a MAC newbie myself, but I have purchased a number of iMacs, a couple of brand new and a few 2-year old models as a donation to a School overseas in Africa.
They do not have fast broadband access (they do have internet access, just not as fast and 50% of the time off due to power/electricity issues) and so going to check for solutions on line as we are accustomed to here is not their first solution. It is preferable they have books (can't beat paper ...) that they can refer to as resource material.
My question is this: They would like to include in their current small office & classroom network the Macs. There will be a mix of Macs and Windows computers. The Macs would be running the new Snow Leopard OS; I am upgrading the older iMacs to Snow Leopard.
What book(s) can I purchase that would not be overkill on technical lingo, but not too simple not to help them really. A book that would just be ideal for converting from the Windows PC Platform to the Apple Mac platform, that would explain how to combine the 2 in 1 network (with a Windows Server, or using an iMac as a Server)
Thank you
