Robin Williams has an enviable reputation for writing computer books that are easy for beginning users to understand and use, and that are popular with intermediate users because they meet their needs.

Here in the author's words are the contents of this book:

Section One, iLife apps covers the suite of five fabulous applications that will change your digital life. If you don't have a digital life, these apps will most likely persuade you to get one. Before iLife, we rarely used our digital camera or our video camera; we seldom bought music, and our existing music collection consisted of dust-covered, scratched CSs scattered around the house. Now we shoot photos, edit movies, create DVDs, buy songs and albums without leaving the house, and compose original music tracks for our movies and DVDs.

Section Two, .Mac apps tells about the great software, features, and services provided with .Mac membership (pronounced dot Mac). If you don't have a .Mac membership, you're missing out on some of the great advantages of being a Mac user.

Section Three, Mac OS X apps explains in detail the main productivity apps that are included as part of Mac OS X. - iCal, Safari, Mail & Address Book, iChat AV and Rendezvous). If there's a Mac application or utility that's not included here, it's in the Robin Williams Mac OS X Book, Panther Edition.

We don't just write about these apps. We use them every day and every night. Even when we don't have to. Wow, its fun being a Mac user.
