Learning About Mac OS X

Your computer comes with Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, which includes Spotlight, a search engine that automatically indexes all of your files; Dashboard, which puts handy “widgets” or mini-applications at your fingertips; Exposé, which tiles and neatly displays all your open applications; and much more.

When you’re ready to learn more about Mac OS X and the award-winning iLife applications that came with your computer, see the Welcome to Tiger booklet that came with your MacBook or browse the information in Mac Help. If you experience any problems while using Mac OS X, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” or Mac Help.

For information about the software applications compatible with Mac OS X, or to read more about Mac OS X, check the Apple website at www.apple.com/macosx.
