My daughter is a school teacher. She knows very well how to work
with PCs. She has a PC laptop. Now in her new school they only have
Macs, for teachers and students. I am not sure she should buy a Mac
but she says that she doesn´t know how to work with them. Is there a
school or a place where she can learn? Perhaps in an Apple Store?
Start with a good book...

Amazon review:
"When I took my first commercial art course I had to learn how to use
a Mac instead of a PC. I discovered that the commercial art department
always used the newest edition of this book to get their students up
and running on a Mac. As the head of the department told us, "you will
be working on your first art projects in Photoshop on a Mac in two
days." He was right. He gave us a test to show we'd all read the book
and then we all opened Photoshop on the lab Macs and we were off and
running. Not a single student had a problem. There are more
complicated books about Macs. There are books with more tricks to use
on Macs. But there is no other book which can get you up and running a
Mac and creating projects on software running on a Mac this fast. My
sister just took a new job and the first day the company handed her a
Mac. I told her to get this book and she was up and running fast too.
To this day the commercial art department where I learned still starts
every new student off with this book."
But there is one major problem here. If you daughter starts using a
Mac it won't be long before you realize how much better it works than
your PCs. Then you will switch to a Mac and because it really does
work much better than your PCs it won't be long before you stop
posting long tales of woe. We will miss you very much.
