    makes converting to Mac a breeze!

    If you are making the move to a Mac, and looking for an easy way to do it, then this is the book for you. I personally wouldn't recommend it for more advanced users, but if you are just getting started, or are relatively unfamiliar with Mac's, this it the one for you.

    Author of from "Broke to Broker, and other stories of finding financial freedom."
