 An appalling dull read and utter drivel. October 26, 2003
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
As a die hard Macintosh user I bought this book thinking it would be a light hearted and amusing piece of literature. It’s actually a long and drawn out affair of Scott Kelby’s pathetic (and mostly recycled) Macintosh versus PC user jokes, aimed I think at self-deprecation yet still seeming depressingly smug and vaguely unpleasant at the same time. In addition this book doesn’t flow well and makes it a difficult and very boring read. Kelby clearly thinks he and his 'friends' could run Apple better than the current management, I seriously doubt it after reading the paragraph entitled: ‘don’t pick fights with people who buy ink by the barrel,’ which is a series of re-printed email sparring between his magazine’s editorial team (Mac Design) and PC users. Kelby is clearly an accomplished editor but he should stick to editing magazines and not his weird attempt at humour. I regret buying this utter drivel and I advise you to think carefully before doing so. My rating of this book with one star is only because I couldn't rate it with a zero.

I bought this book with the intention of reading it on the train to work. Unfortunately, I had to abandon that idea fairly swiftly as the belly laughs and constant nodding of my head was attracting some very strange looks!If you own a Mac and have ever raved about the inadequecies of PCs then this is the book for you. Without exception you will agree with every word he writes and the book gives you all the ammunition you could ever need for your next run in with a PC user. More importantly, it reminds you that you are a higher being and, as a Macintosh person, you belong to the most sane and insane group of people on earth. PC users, I dare you to read this and convert!!

Brave claim I know, but really, you should read this book. I worked my way through it on a 10 hour flight, some of the other passengers must of thought I was crazy seeing as I couldn't stop laughing.Scott Kelby takes you on a journey during which he explains why some people are Mac users and some people are PC users, why Mac users are so fanatical in their devotion to their machines and Apple..., the importance of user groups, why you should avoid the big computer shops (to avoid getting depressed) and how you can go about coverting people to the one true way. Very few books grip me enough to want to read them in one sitting (Barry Gibbon's Nutters and HowBoys was one other such example) and even if I hadn't had a flight to kill I know I'd have done that with this book regardless. Do yourself a favour, get this book and learn how to survive in a PC dominated world.
