Getting to Know Your eMac	2

This chapter gives you some basic information you’ll need to know about your eMac.

Read on for an overview of the different parts of your computer and Mac OS X, and summary information on common tasks such as customizing the way your desktop looks, connecting to a printer, playing a CD, connecting a digital camera, using the Internet, getting answers when you need help, and more.

Using the Applications That Came With Your eMac

Your eMac comes with several fun, useful, easy-to-use software applications that let you do things like transfer your music from your CD collection to your computer and organize the songs, easily create new music on your computer, send email, browse the web, chat with friends, edit home movies, organize your schedule, write letters and create other documents, and much more.

For more information about these applications, see the Welcome to Panther booklet that came with your eMac. Or, simply open any application and choose the application’s help from the Help menu (for example, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help).

For the Latest Information

The Apple website, at www.apple.com, links you to the latest Apple news, free downloads, and online catalogs of software and hardware for your eMac.
