Landau, contributing editor to "Macworld" magazine and the Webmaster for MacFixIt, a Web site for Mac troubleshooting, offers clear, step-by-step instructions that are as useful for near-beginners as for pros. Not only does Landau show readers how to fix things and prevent problems, but he sharpens their diagnostic skills so they can fix problems that aren't discussed in the book.

Macintosh expert Ted Landau comes to rescue with his new book, Sad Macs, Bombs, and Other Disasters. From fractious fonts to the ominous Sad Macintosh icon, this emergency handbook covers the whole range of Macintosh problems: symptoms, causes, and what you can do to solve them.

This sequel takes up where the bestselling "The Little Mac Book" leaves off and turns Mac-literate users into power users. Using the same friendly language and easy-to-follow explanations, the authors give shortcuts, tips and tricks for honing Mac skills. Chapters on mastering the System Folder, maximizing memory, troubleshooting, disaster recovery, and much more guide new and experienced users alike into taking their Mac skills a step beyond.
