4.0 out of 5 stars help for th helpless, August 2, 2010

This review is from: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard: Visual QuickStart Guide (Paperback)
Since computer manufacturers no longer include a manual with new computers this book has been a great help to me. I have owned Macs for 20 years and was lost when I purchased my latest model. I was trying to use the video aids and was getting more and more confused since there was no way to mark information to refer back to when I tried to apply what was shown to my very confused problem solving skills. This book has been a lifesaver. Now I can find out what I need to do and the tips in the chapters are very helpful.I still have a lot to learn about 10.6!!!!
