Yes, the famed face from Norton Utilities weighs in on this collaboration with Guru Heid. First Edition/First Printing. Excellent like-new condition. How do you keep an ImageWriter quiet? What about accomodating your workspace to a IIx? Why did my stereo go bye-bye when I plugged my Mac into the microphone jack? How do I move PageMaker 3.x files from Windows to Mac and back? How do I network Macs in virtually any configuration? Here be answers. Gets into the nuts and bolts of all Macintoshes circa 1989. Great for PC users who need to get into the rebar of the Macintosh foundation. Very Apple Guidelines aware, even to the format of the book (Ch. 1 - Read This First). Explains the concept of HFS so that you will KNOW what your intuition has been telling you all along. 15 well-written Chapters and 2 appendices of candy for vintage Mac lovers. You'll eat this one up. But keep it in good condition as it will only increase in collectible value.

The software diskette is history, could not retrieve the files with any file editor. Will include essentially similar artwork, ClarisWorks templates for teachers and more on two of my own 800KB floppies (precious few of them left). This is the book for someone who just wants to be told how to use a Macintosh in an easy way, to heck with the nuts and bolts. The real beauty of this book is that it describes dozens of educational software packages throughout its 350 pages. Lots of this software is still available on auction sites as schools dump their loads, or something like that. Part I - For The First-Time Mac User -- Part II - Making A Teacher's Life Easier Part III - Software & CD-ROM Technology Part IV - How To Act Like You Know What You're Doing (my favorite part) Part V - Going Online Part VI - Reality Bites (not true, it nibbles away at you, making each day excrutiatingly painful) Part VII - Spending Money (what you should be doing here) Appendices - Mac activities to enrich the classroom; Troubleshooting by Pogue; Techno-babble translation guide; CLKBC, (Copy, Laminate and Keep Beside Computer) reference cards.

All software included on three 800KB diskettes. It's one thing to have shareware, it's another to have the book that tells you how to use it. A collection of vintage software history spanning 15 chapters plus appendices. Great chapter on what makes the Macintosh bomb, something every shareware user should know. The software and more importantly explanations of how to use it is exhausting to list.
