Review: Leander Kahney, the author has a self-confessed obsession with Macs. This book is unashamed homage to all things Mac. He looks at the Mac culture – the worship of the two Steves; Mac tattoos and haircuts (there’s an example on the cover);how you can spot another Mac user; and Macs on the Web (over 1,400 active Mac sites with registered names in Spring 2006). He introduces Mac enthusiasts and their gatherings. Then there is the world of tinkering – converting your Mac into an aquariu;and fantasy Macs – looking at new designs. Collectors of old Macs are also included. Finally the author looks at what is coming – the new ipods.
