20 Chapter 1: Setting Up Your Macintosh PowerBook
When you turn on your computer
When you turn on your PowerBook, the computer looks on the
hard disk inside the computer for the system software it uses to
start itself up. (A disk that contains the system software is called
a startup disk.) When the computer finds the system software, it
displays the icon shown and proceeds to start itself up.
When the startup process is complete, the Macintosh desktop
appears on the screen. The desktop is a gray pattern with
m
a menu bar across the top (containing the names and icons
of menus)
m
an icon near the upper-right corner representing the startup
disk
m
an icon near the lower-right corner representing the Trash
When you “wake” your computer from sleep, it does not go
through the startup process because it is already on (at a
reduced power level). The Macintosh desktop reappears on the
screen immediately, looking just the way it did before the
computer went to sleep.
