Apple Duo 270C manual How to Use This Book, Welcome to PowerBook Duo

Preface

How to Use This Book

This book has several parts.

nChapter 1 explains how to set up your computer and learn how to use it.

nChapters 2–4 are a tutorial designed for people who have not used a Macintosh computer before. If you are new to the Macintosh, you should read this section of the book before you start your own work.

nChapters 5–14 contain reference information that will help you as you become more proficient with your computer. You can turn to these chapters for information about a particular topic.

Most of the equipment designed specifically for use with your PowerBook Duo—the Duo Dock, the Duo Floppy Adapter, the Duo MiniDock, the external floppy disk drive, the external battery recharger—is documented in these reference chapters.

nAt the back of the book you’ll find a troubleshooting section and an index.

Certain kinds of information are not included in this book.

nInformation about modems. If your computer has a built-in modem, or if you purchase one later, you receive a separate modem manual with instructions for its use.

nInformation about application programs. Your best source of information about a particular program is the set of books and disks that came with that program.

nTechnical specifications for your PowerBook Duo model. These are on a separate sheet in the box with your computer.

(The illustrations contained in this book are of several PowerBook Duo models, so the pictures may not exactly match your PowerBook.)

Turn to Chapter 1 to set up your new PowerBook Duo computer.

Welcome to PowerBook Duo.
