Hello,

As I will be a new Mac user in the coming months, I thought I'd join this forum and ask you good folk some questions.

I plan to buy an iMac27 shortly and was wondering if anyone can suggest a good book to buy. In particular, something written for people who are switching from a PC. I'm pretty well versed in windows, and I know I will soon click on all the general workings of the Mac OS. But I am sure there are a few gotcha's out there and plenty of hidden settings that a book can lead me too.

So, nothing too simple, but I don't intend writting my own scripts in a hurry either.

+1 for the Missing Manual series, they are great, easy to understand and full of humour.
Louishen links to the wrong book though, its for 10.1. You will need the one for 10.6 Snow Leopard.

Snow Leopard the Missing Manual by David Pouge is a must have. It will answer any question you have about your OS.

Thanks guys, exactly the sort of tip I was after. The "missing manual" book looks just the mark.
