Mac & OSX Info |
These pages are meant as an introduction to working with Apple's Macintoshes running the OS X operating system. I wrote them for some friends who have Macs but are not computing professionals and that is why you find them on my site.
Examples are taken from the OS X world, but many concepts discussed here are also applicable to other computer operating systems.
You can read the pages in any order you like.
Some topics have not yet been written and thus there will be no active link from such an item.
