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.

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