New O'Reilly Book "Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition"

For all you new switchers out there running Tiger, or those who have switching friends or family, the O'Reilly Network has released a new book titled Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition. From the book's description: "This incomparable guide delivers what Apple doesn't: everything you need to know to successfully and painlessly move to a Mac." I'm really glad they make a distinction between OS X and Windows in another quote from the book's description: "A Mac isn't just a Windows machine in a prettier box; it's a whole different animal and a whole new computing experience."

The book is available in a paperback edition from the likes of Amazon and also in an online format through O'Reilly Network's Safari Bookshelf program, where you can rent electronic books and download individual chapters for easy viewing and searching right on your computer. They offer a 14 day free trial period to help get your feet wet if you're on the fence over whether to join. Either way, the O'Reilly Network features some great authors and this Missing Manual series is quite the popular one. With the holidays upon us, it might make a great early stocking stuffer for that recent convert in your life.
