You’ll probably want to buy and install additional programs. See the manuals
you receive with your programs for instructions on installing and using them.

In most cases, you’ll install an application program on your internal hard disk
from floppy disks that contain the program. The illustration shows how to
insert a floppy disk into your computer’s disk drive.

For instructions on how to eject floppy disks, see the “Disks” topic of
Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (

h) menu.

To use your programs most effectively, follow these guidelines:

m Put only one copy of each program on your hard disk. Having more than

one copy can cause errors.

m Whenever you copy a program disk to your hard disk, be careful not to

copy a System Folder. Always check to see what you’ve copied, and drag
any extra System Folders to the Trash.

m If a program malfunctions consistently, try installing a fresh copy. If that

doesn’t help, find out from the software manufacturer whether your version
of the program is compatible with the system software you’re using.

Insert the floppy disk, metal
end first, into the floppy disk
drive of your computer.
