Multimedia: Making it Work, Seventh Edition

I am a prospective educator that has been assigned to read this text for a graduate level course. This book is centered around Macs and has a definite bias towards them. Although I do not own a Mac I have used them a lot and think that they are certainly a good system, especially for multimedia purposes. What I have against this book is that Mac's are glorified and many of the programs and software that are available for PC's are not mentioned or are a side-note. Even according to the book itself, over 95% of the people that have operating system on their computer as of 2006 have a Windows platform. Therefore, you would think this book would have a lot more references to PC's and tools that you could correspondingly use with them. It doesn't. Every screen shot in the book is of a Mac and like another reviewer has noted a lot of the information is outdated (including the screen shots of ancient Mac's). This book needs a serious refresher and a balance in the slant that it has. This book does have some valuable lessons, but honestly, save yourself the cash and do your own research on the web. There is nothing in the book that you could not find elsewhere and it is my belief that if you went elsewhere you would most likely get much better information.
