This chapter describes how to operate the standard built-in features of the notebook that you normally would use in your day-to-day computer work. If you are new to computers and to your operating system, you also need to read the manual for the operating system on how to work with your computer. It is very important to familiarize yourself well with the opera- ting system. The succeeding chapters not only guide you to go beyond the basics, but also try other exci- ting features.
