PREFACE

What to Do First

Congratulations! You are about to learn about your Macintosh computer -- a

powerful tool for work and fun. This book is a comprehensive guide to your

Macintosh. In it you will find all the information you need to

- set up your Macintosh

- learn basic Macintosh skills and concepts

- answer the questions you might have as you use your computer

To get started, read through this preface to find out what this book contains

and how you should proceed.

The parts of this book

This book is divided into three major parts -- Setting Up, Learning, and

Reference -- followed by a glossary and an index. Tabs marked on the cover of

the book and throughout the book make each section easy to find.

Setting Up

Part I, "Setting Up Your Computer," takes you through the steps you take to

get your computer ready to use. Setting up the Macintosh LC is a very

straightforward task, so Part I is just a few pages.

Learning

Part II, "Learning to Use Your Macintosh LC," provides the training new

Macintosh users need to get started with their computers. This part of the

book starts off with instructions on how to use the disk Macintosh Basics

(guided training to get you started using your computer). Part II continues

with a set of chapters that reinforce what you learn from the Macintosh

Basics disk and provide further instruction and practice in using your

Macintosh.

Reference

Part III, "Using Your Macintosh: Reference," provides information intended to

help you when questions arise as you use your computer. You can also browse

this part of the book if you want to learn more after you finish the training

provided in Part II.

Glossary

glossary is a small dictionary of Macintosh terms.

Index

The back of the book contains an index that lists all the terms, tasks, and

topics covered in this book. The index is the most powerful part of this

book. Anytime you need to find information about your Macintosh, turn to the

index first to see a listing of the pages that might help you. Using the
