Apple 200 Series manual Learning the basics

Learning the basics

If you are new to the Macintosh, you should begin by looking at the easy-to- use program called the Macintosh Tutorial. The tutorial teaches you the basic skills you’ll need to use your computer. To start the tutorial, follow these steps:

1Roll the trackball to move the arrow pointer (8) on the screen.

Place your index finger on the trackball and your thumb on the lower trackball button. Don’t press either button yet.

Roll the trackball, watching the arrow on the screen. Notice that the arrow moves in the same direction as you roll the trackball.

You may need to roll the trackball around for a few seconds to “break in” the mechanism so it works smoothly.
