Mac Books for Computer Newbies
Hello,
I am looking for suggestions of Mac books to give to a complete computer newbie. The more hand holding the better. My wife just bought a new 15" power book and we gave her iBook to my 75 year old Mom. My Mom has never used a computer before so she has no concept of how a GUI works. I will be handling any admin type tasks but I want to encourage independent problem solving when it comes to using the little beastie. We need a book that will walk her through basics like what is a window and where did it go when I clicked on something else.
The iBook is running Panther so I'd prefer books that are Panther aware.
So far I have found:
Old Fart's Guide to the Macintosh by Sam Burrish
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Mac OS X by Kate Binder
Thanks!
Tim
