Mac OS X Snow Leopard For Dummies
Chapter One
Mac OSX Snow Leopard 101 (Prerequisites: None)
In This Chapter
* Understanding what an operating system is and is not
* Turning on your Mac
* Getting to know the startup process * Turning off your Mac * Avoiding major Mac mistakes * Pointing, clicking, dragging, and other uses for your mouse * Getting help from your Mac
Congratulate yourself on choosing Mac OS X, which stands for Macintosh Operating System X - that's the Roman numeral ten, not the letter X (pronounced ten, not ex). You made a smart move because you scored more than just an operating-system upgrade. Mac OS X Snow Leopard includes several new features to make using your Mac easier, and dozens of improvements that help you do more work in less time.
In this chapter, I start at the very beginning and talk about Mac OS X in mostly abstract terms; then I move on to explain what you need to know to use Mac OS X Snow Leopard successfully.
If you've been using Mac OS X for a while, some of the information in this chapter might seem hauntingly familiar; some features that I describe haven't changed from earlier versions of Mac OS X. But if you decide to skip this chapter because you think you have all the new stuff figured out, I assure you that you'll miss at least a couple of things that Apple didn't bother to tell you (as if you read every word in Mac OS X Help, the only user manual Apple provides, anyway!).
Tantalized? Let's rock.
WARNING!
If you're about to upgrade to Snow Leopard from an earlier version of Mac OS X, I feel obliged to me
