Read this chapter for information on
installing and working with application
programs on your computer.
Installing application programs
Your computer has several application programs already installed, as well as
some programs that need to be installed before you can use them. The
programs that come with your computer include
m AppleScript, which allows you to automate any actions you perform
repeatedly on your Macintosh
m Drive Setup, which enables you to initialize, test, and update hard disks and
other storage media. Drive Setup lets you partition very large disks (up to 2
terabytes).
m PowerTalk, which provides built-in mail and collaboration services
m eWorld, a program that lets you send and receive electronic mail and gives
you access to a range of online information and services
m text-to-speech software that allows your Macintosh to speak typed text in
compatible applications such as SimpleText
m Speakable Items, speech recognition software that lets you give spoken
commands to the computer and have the computer respond by executing
the commands and giving computer-voice feedback
You’ll find these and other programs in the Apple Extras folder on your hard
disk. (However, eWorld is in its own folder on your hard disk, and Drive Setup
is in the Utilities folder.) To find out if a program needs to be installed, look
inside the program’s folder for an icon labeled Installer. If you find an
Installer icon and want to use that program, double-click the Installer and
follow the instructions on the screen.
