Great buy

I think this is a wonderful book. It helped me a lot since I am new to Apple products and their operating system. I recently bought a Mac Book Pro, and with the help of this publication, I have been able to enjoy my Mac. Id like to see one where it details on how to set up a home network step by step. Sorry if Im asking to much. Great buy! Jose
