But consider yourself warned: a Mac isn't just a Windows machine in a prettier box; it's a whole different animal and a whole new computing experience. <p> If you're contemplating--or have already made--the switch from a Windows PC to a Mac, you need "Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition."
