Good Reads

For the switcher or new user

Have you just switched to the Mac? Are you a new user? Would you just like to learn more? If so, we suggest the titles below.

As you see, we highly recommend the writings of David Pogue, technology writer for the New York Times and a Mac user, himself. His "Missing Manual" series offers a clear, understandable prose with accompanying screenshots that are just right for most users.

Also, Jim Heid's iLife 06 book will help you get the most out of Apple's iLife suite of applications.

Worth a Watch and a Vote

Video Highlights of Apple Events and Products

With the iPhone and Leopard being Apple's latest, we thought you would enjoy these video clips highlighting these products. Vote for which you think is the most impressive!

First, the iPhone, Apple's hottest new item. In this video, Steve Jobs introduces the iPhone for the first time. What becomes clear is just how excited Steve is about the iPhone and then just how revolutionary a product the new iPhone is.

In addition to the iPhone introduction highlights, we've included highlights of several new features of Leopard. Leopard is the next major release of the Macintosh operating system. Watch the video on Time Machine to learn about Apple's incredible new backup system.

Apple's new finder and photorealistic desktop are vast improvements. Check out how Apple has used the iTunes "Cover Flow" approach to view all the files on your Mac.

One of the Leopard Previews highlights "Spaces," Mac OS X's new way of having multiple desktops. A must see..

Finally, everyone loves instant messaging. Wait until you see what Apple adds to iChat with Leopard. Very cool...

Great Stuff on CafePress

AppleBytes is a CafePress shop inspired by Apple

Applebytes takes inspiration from the shopkeeper's love of all things Apple: the iPod, the iPhone, and the Macintosh. This growing shop includes AppleBytes from Steve Jobs, himself, as well as anti-Microsoft designs. The shop has just opened and new designs are being added regularly, so it is worth checking back to see what has been added.

Apple Links

Links Worth Clicking

Nothing like buying direct. I have purchased almost 30 Macs in the last eight years (yes, 30!). The Apple Store is where I usually buy everything and it gets my highest recommendation.
Apple Store

If I don't buy directly from the Apple Store, I always go through MacMall. Often times they offer better incentives than the Apple Store, itself. If you are in the market, it is best to compare what the two offer.

1984

Apple's Classic TV Ad

Apple's 1984 television ad remains one of the most popular TV ads of all time and is a consistent winner of such awards. It was the commercial that introduced the Macintosh to the world. I have included it here for your enjoyment.
