Learning the Basics
The Macintosh comes with a tour and a tutorial to help you start using your computer as quickly as possible.
nThe Macintosh Basics tour teaches the most basic skills you need to master before you can use your computer.
nThe Learning Macintosh section of your Macintosh User’s Guide is a tutorial that reinforces basic skills taught in the tour, and teaches a few additional skills you’ll find helpful as you become more proficient.
Take the Macintosh Basics tour first.
Taking the Macintosh Basics tour
Your Macintosh Basics tour can be found on the hard disk that’s inside your computer.
To take the tour, follow these steps:
Make sure your computer is turned on. If the screen is dark, try adjusting the screen (as described in “Adjusting the Screen,” later in this book) until you see the Macintosh desktop on your screen.
1.Use your hand to scoot the mouse along the table.
Hold the mouse as shown, cable pointing away from you. Slide it so that it stays in contact with the table. Don’t press the mouse button. Watch the arrow (8) on your screen to see if it moves when you move the mouse.
