    About this ebook

    Whether you own apple MacBook pro, Mac laptop, IPad, or any other apple computer, it is time that you took the big step to master your Mac so that you can get the most mileage for the money you’ve paid!

    Now you can quit wringing your hands and wondering what to do next. When it comes down to head to head performance, it is the Mac that wins, hands down every single time. Consumers Reports gives Mac the nod as well as most professionals who what a superb outcome, such as musicians, writers, artists and photographers.

    For years, the big rub against the Mac compared to Windows has been the cost. PC users say that why spend the extra money for the Mac when you can get the same thing with a PC?

    Mac users say that the extra cost is well worth it when it comes to pure productivity, and there are much fewer problems with a Mac and you don’t have to be aggravated with the gritty problems the PCs like to present to you.
     
    Probably one of the most aggravating issues that PC users have to put up with is the periodic need to upgrade to a new operating system just because Microsoft decides that they need a new profit center. The software makers all demand higher and higher capacity, so Microsoft comes out with a newer and more expensive version of Windows to run it. Can anyone spell collusion?

    As you learn and master the techniques that are mentioned in this eBook, you will continue to improve in your skill levels as well as obtaining increasing knowledge and confidence in your ability to use the Mac to assist you in whatever endeavor you are currently engaged in.

    Mac offers you a rare opportunity to excel at being very productive at whatever task you apply yourself, with a very positive result being a good probability.

    This book will show you how to use your Mac the way that you will get so much more out of its various resources. Also know that the more you use your Mac, the better you will become at optimizing you skills as well as increasing your productivity – Good Luck!

      Introduction

      It is time that you took the big step of making the decision to master your Mac so that you can live life to the fullest and quit worrying about your inability in regard to get the most mileage out of your Mac. You can actually learn to use your Mac in the same manner that a concert violinist plays for concerts with exceptional skill. Now you can quit wringing your hands and wondering what to do next. Now is the time to take the next step.

      Of course there is this ongoing battle between PCs and Macs, thus the recent commercial that Apple ran which cleverly pitted the PC guy against the Mac guy, depicting the PC guy as the less capable of the two. A rather cute commercial to be sure, but that is exactly how Mac users view their choice of a Mac over the PC as far as function and ease of use.

      Macs don’t have near the viruses that PCs do, but that is not really a fair criticism of the PCs because the Mac still only commands 10% of the personal computer market, and most of the viruses are written to attack PCs. Some of the concrete features that are certainly going to put the contest towards the side of the Mac are the faster running speed of the Mac, fewer crashes, and with the Mac you don’t have the constant need of reboots, upgrades, defrags, maintenance and all of the other pesky tasks that PCs will make you do.

      It is not even a contest of operating systems anymore either, because Macs run Windows now too, so if you are a diehard Windows fan, you can have your Mac and Windows too.

      When it comes down to head to head performance, it is the Mac that wins, hands down in that department. Consumers Reports gives Mac the nod as well as most professionals who what a superb outcome, such as musicians, writers, artists and photographers.
