Course Description

The introduction of the iPod, iPhone, and iPad and the use of Intel-based processors have generated a steep increase in the sales of Macintosh computers, which are no longer restricted to the realm of desktop publishing and computer-aided design.

Computer users are attracted by the design of the Macintosh, its UNIX-like stability, ease-of-use, and its ability to run Microsoft® Windows. Most die-hard Windows users will refuse to return their Mac once they’ve started using it.
