Getting to Know Your eMac

Learning About Mac OS X

Your computer comes with Mac OS X, which includes an elegant user interface,
advanced graphics capabilities, and excellent system stability and performance.

When you’re ready to learn more about Mac OS X and the award-winning iLife
applications that came with your computer, see the Welcome to Tiger booklet that came
with your eMac. Also open Mac 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.
For information about the compatibility of software applications with Mac OS X, or to
read more about Mac OS X, check the Apple website: www.apple.com/macosx.

Note: If you want to use Mac OS 9 applications with your computer, you have to install
Mac OS 9 (see page 20). Mac OS 9 can’t be installed as the primary operating system on
your eMac and you can’t start up your computer in Mac OS 9.
