Learning About Mac OS X

Your computer comes with Mac OS X and features Classic, an environment for using Mac OS 9 applications while the computer is running Mac OS X.

Note: Mac OS 9 cannot be installed as the primary operating system on your eMac.

Mac OS X features include an elegant user interface, advanced graphics capabilities, and added system stability and performance.

When you’re ready to learn more about Mac OS X and the applications that came with your computer, see the Welcome to Panther booklet that came with your eMac. Also open Mac OS Help and browse the information there. You’ll find plenty of information for new users, experienced users, and people switching to the Mac. If you experience any problems while using Mac OS X, see the troubleshooting tips in the back of this book or choose Help > Mac Help from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
