Part 1 Starting the Macintosh Basics tour
Your Macintosh Basics tour is on the hard disk that’s inside your computer. To take the tour, follow these steps:
Make sure your computer is turned on. If the screen is dark, try adjusting the screen (see “Problems Turning On Your Computer?” in Chapter 1) until you see words and small pictures on your screen.
1Use your hand to scoot the mouse along the table.
Hold the mouse as shown, cable pointing away from you. Slide it so that it stays in contact with the table. Don’t press the mouse button. Watch the arrow on your screen to see if it moves when you move the mouse.
2Notice that the arrow (8) moves in the direction you move the mouse.
If the arrow doesn’t move on the screen, make sure that the cable connecting the mouse to the keyboard is secure and that your mouse is positioned as shown in the picture. (Don’t disconnect the cable while your computer is on; you could damage your equipment.)
