Rating: - If you love Mac's you'll love this book
I am a prospective educator that has been assigned to read this text for a graduate level course. This book is centered around Macs and has a definite bias towards them.

The author or the publisher should consider about any materials for the completion of the book that may be spread out of US especially in my case in Indonesia.
