Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This, the 3rd separate (and “most dumb”) Dummies book about Mac OS Snow Leopard, is the book for technologically-challenged individuals who, far from being tantalized by the promise of “infinite possibilities,” are simply turned off by such promises. (Existence is finite, after all. If you’re not careful, I tell myself, the new digital technology can consume your entire life–virtual reality replaces any semblance of reality, and the consequences are far worse than most people dare imagine. Ask someone what they remember doing on their computer ten years ago–or, for that matter, a day or two ago. Computers and virtual reality have a tendency to make the personal past and, along with it memory and personal identity, irrelevant). So for the user who doesn’t want to hazard non-stop headaches, crashes and freezes as a result of downloading hundreds of unused apps, etc., but who wants an Apple machine that will take care of their basic needs in our “brave new world,” this book could be just the ticket. I like it because it gives me my marching orders, and if I simply follow directions, I’m all but guaranteed to stay out of trouble while enjoying non-problematic mechanical performance.The other user for whom the book may be a refreshing find is the one who has already become overly involved in Apple’s new OS, to the point of being in “too deep” to know how to get out. Regardless of what you’ve heard, Apple and their operating systems can be infinitely complex and full of hazards at every mouse click. For example, I simply could not figure out why I was seeing multiple copies of the same computer program on my dock, and I was at a loss to know how to free up needed memory and prevent the loss of even more memory. None of the more elaborate books about Snow Leopard made it clear that the HD folder and the Home folder are discrete, unique, different folders and have no relationship to one another. The Home folder and its applications are in no shape or form a mere “alias,” or “short cut” to your HD folder and its applications. You can easily dispose of your Home folder and be at no disadvantage in the running of your machine. In fact, you may be better off by doing so–especially if you happen to be (as I suspect is most often the case) the only user of your machine.The key is to master the uses of the Finder window (it’s not merely a Search feature, like Spotlight; it’s your view of the brains of the machine. Get to know its uses and limitations. And be sure to learn about the two ways of emptying your trash, or you could easily find your machine backed up with hours and hours of clutter that’s denying all further progress. Be sure to select plain “Empty Trash” rather than “Secure Empty Trash.” The latter means, roughly, “empty the trash so securely that it can never be retrieved.” The problem is that this method takes forever, sure to drive the least impatient user to seek the services of a plumber).
