Résumé
themselves in unfamiliar territory with no guidebook. Crossing Platforms: A Macintosh/Windows Phrasebook, with
information presented in a translation dictionary-like format, offers users a handy way of translating skills and knowledge
from one platform to the other. Whether it's explaining the difference between Macintosh aliases and Windows
shortcuts or explaining how a Windows user would go about setting up Internet access on a Mac, this book provides
readers a simple means to look up familiar interface elements and system features and learn how that element or feature
works on the other platform.
Crossing Platforms: A Macintosh/Windows Phrasebook
includes:
- A general introduction to the key differences between
the Mac and Windows
- A to Z sections for each platform: one section where
Mac users look up familiar Macintosh terms to find
the
equivalent function in Windows along with an explanation of the differences; and another section where
- Windows users find familiar Windows terms with pointers
to the Macintosh equivalent along with full
descriptions of how the function works on the Mac and important differences between the two platforms
The complete translation dictionary-like reference book,
Crossing Platforms: A Macintosh/Windows
Phrasebook
provides a simple solution for everyone who has been
confused and frustrated by the arbitrary and
sometimes
capricious differences between the Macintosh and Windows
operating systems. This book bridges the Mac-PC
knowledge gap many users are faced with when work or
preference demands the use of both a PC and Mac.
Whether
you already know the Macintosh or Windows, this book helps
you navigate in the other operating system using your
existing skills and knowledge.
