Testimonials
“If you own a Mac, a MacBook Air or an iPhone, you don't have to be a genius to realise these guidebooks are excellent ways to get more use from your gear. Books are pitched at just the right level to appeal to newbies and enthusiasts alike, are full-colour throughout and include plenty of illustrations and screen grabs to make sure instructions are clear.”
—Peter Familari, The Herald Sun

Do you want to connect your Mac with devices such as displays and Bluetooth doodads? Synchronize your Mac with a cell phone or PDA? Get more out of Safari, Mail, and iCal? Maintain, upgrade, and troubleshoot your Mac? Learn how to run Windows on your Mac? All these sound like you might need to book an apointment to see an Apple Genius, but put down that phone! It's all covered in my book Macs Portable Genius, and there's plenty more where they came from.

Please use links below to learn more about the book. (For some of the links you'll need a program that can open PDF files, such as Adobe Reader.)
