New Mac OS X Conversion Kit Provides An Innovative Approach to Upgrading

Scott Kelby's latest book takes a new look at converting from Mac OS 8/9 to
Mac OS X

TAMPA, Fla. - April 22, 2003 - Mac users who have put off upgrading to Mac
OS X may be glad they've waited. Thanks to a creative new conversion book
by best-selling Mac author Scott Kelby, transitioning to OS X just got
easier.

The Mac OS X Conversion Kit takes a unique approach to getting users up and
running on Mac OS X. Rather than explaining the details behind each new
feature, the Conversion Kit takes a "before and after" approach to
navigating through the operating system. Kelby dedicates two pages to each
action, with the left-hand page explaining how the task was once done in OS
8/9 and the right-hand page explaining how to now complete that same
operation in OS X. Full-color screen shots help the reader follow along
with the steps and Kelby's signature writing style (a conversational tone
interspersed with humor) makes the book an easy read.

Early editions of The Mac OS X Conversion Kit will be on sale at the Mac
Design Conference, May 28-30 in Chicago. Official book sales start June 2
and pre-orders are being taken at http://www.scottkelbybooks.com. The Mac
OS X Conversion Kit is published by Peachpit Press and retails for $29.95.
