Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 61)

A helpful tip: A good way to remember which documents you have stored
where is to print a copy of the items you’ve stored in a folder. For instructions
on printing the contents of a folder, see the “Printing” topic area of Macintosh
Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
Restoring the information on your hard disk
Your computer’s hard disk comes with valuable information already stored
on it, including system software and some applications. If information on your
hard disk becomes damaged or lost, you can restore it if you have a backup
copy of the information. The Macintosh Restore CD contains copies of all the
system software and applications that came with your computer. See Chapter
8, “Reinstalling Your Computer’s Software,” for instructions on using the
Macintosh Restore CD to reinstall software.
It is also helpful for easy reference to keep a printed copy of the items in your
System Folder. For instructions on printing the contents of a folder, see the
“Printing” topic area of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
Using applications designed for the PowerPC microprocessor
Your Macintosh is compatible with most applications intended for use with
Macintosh computers, but certain applications are designed especially for
computers that have the PowerPC microprocessor. Sometimes called “native”
applications, these applications take best advantage of your computer’s speed.
Special memory requirements
Some native applications may be slightly larger than other applications and
may take up more memory. If you find that you are running out of memory
when you use one of these applications, you can use space on your computer’s
hard disk as additional memory, which is called virtual memory. For
instructions on how to use virtual memory, see the “Memory” area topic of
Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
You can also add more memory to your computer, as described in Chapter 10,
“Installing Expansion Cards and Additional Memory.”
