Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual

Posted by admin under Uncategorized

Looking for a book for a mac user that recently upgraded to Leopard? Get them this book and make them read it. You would be surprised at all the features your mac has that you never use because you didn’t know existed. David Pogue has a way of making the most mundane features seem interesting.

Amazon Kindle

Others have tried and so far failed. Next up at bat for the ebook reader of the future is Amazon with the Kindle. I like some of the features but question the price. I think a subscription may be a better way to go. That is just my opinion, one of many on the web talking about the kindle. Read about first impressions at TechCrunch. Watch the video at Amazon.
