  17. My personal ranking of "essentiality" is:
  18. _TB Essentials_
  19. _Files_
  20. _Memory_
  21. _Processes_

  23. Your mileage may vary, depending on what you want to do.  The 2nd edition of
  24. _Technical Intro to the Mac Family_ is out, too, but isn't too useful unless
  25. you've never been near a Mac before.
