Why Is This Book So Thin?

You’ve just purchased a powerful computer with virtually limitless capabilities. So why isn’t the manual the size of the New York City phone directory?

One reason is that the Macintosh is easier to use than other computers.

Another reason is that the instructions for how to use your system software are included in a comprehensive onscreen help system—Macintosh Guide. Macintosh Guide (also called Mac OS Guide on some systems) helps you in ways that a manual can’t. It gives you more ways to search for information. It’s “smart” enough to give you instructions catered to your situation. It can even circle things on the screen for you.

Once you’ve set up your computer be sure to try Macintosh Guide. You’ll find it under the little yellow question mark at the upper-right of your screen.
