Summary: Frustrated with your Mac? Read this book!
Comment: ...
Do you feel a little insecure about the future of your beloved Mac and Apple? Do you feel that life's unfair, because the PC owners seem to get all the latest cool toys and nobody seems to support Mac anymore? Do you feel frustrated, because you *know* that the Apple's management has made another stupid decision? Do you want to really tell that PC owner next door what you think about his pitiful beige box?
If you answered "yes!" to any of these questions, you need to read Scott Kelby's book. If you don't do it, you are risking your mental health and a life sentence (if you don't have a good lawyer). OK, I know that I am exaggerating, but "Macintosh ... The Naked Truth" is the long-awaited "Chicken Soup for your Mac Soul" (with apologies to the publishers of "Chicken Soup ...").
Kelby describes the life of a Mac user like it is, hard, frustrating, and lonely. (Actually, compared to the rest of the world, the USA is the Mac heaven, try being a sane Mac user in Eastern Europe.) He loves the Macintosh, but doesn't necessarily love Apple. He admires Steve, but isn't thrilled with many of his decisions. He doesn't hate Microsoft, but is angry some of its practices giant of Redmond behaves. Just like many of us, of course. But it's Scott, who finally put on paper what many of us have been thinking for a long time: life on planet Mac is not easy, we know we live in the better world, we know we are right, but the rest of the world doesn't care. It is frustrating, very frustrating, but if we learn to accept that, it can be less so.
The author's observations are correct, funny and made me nod and mutter "Amen, Brother!" page after page (that's like 220+ times). This book should be required reading for all Apple and CompUSA management and personnel. I doubt they will read it, though. Which is a pity.
Scott Kelby wrote a book that I've been waiting for a long time. Thank you, Scott!
Rating: 5 out of 5, for "telling it like it is."

Summary: Alfred Burkhalter would be proud!
Comment: I just finished "The Naked Truth" and Scott is as funny as ever. Cult founder Alfred Burkhalter would proud that the movement he started so many years ago is alive and well. As I have come to know and love Photoshop as became a member of NAPP, I began to worry. I'm I a "PC Weenie"? Do I revel in the torment that Windows has caused me over the years. After reading "The Naked Truth" is realized that I have latent Mac fan tendencies. Thank God! I was so inpired that I marched down to my local Apple Store and bought an iMac. When I got home the Fear struck. I have to set up another computer. Of course, I was remembering my nightmares of setting up my last couple of PC's. As I almost finsihed my Mac set up I thought, "is that it, I'm done!". Not one crash and the only restart was after a download of a couple of pre-installed upgrades.
This is a fun, tongue-in-cheek book about a Mac users life in a PC world. I would recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor. Of course, as Scott would say that might leave most PC users off the list. Great fun! Thanks Scott!

Summary: Very funny book
Comment: I absolutely love this book!!! Being a Mac user myself since I bought my own computer I was happy to find this book one day on the shelf. The title was what caught my interest first. After reading the back cover though and skimming through the book i knew i had to buy it. And so I did. I love this book it makes me laugh so much, since I am the only Mac user in a group of PC users (including my fiance) its great to have a book written to my tastes and making my Mac and other Macs better than PCs everywhere. Thanks Scott!!!!
