Next steps
You've finished setting up your Macintosh computer! Before you turn it on
and start exploring it, turn to the next section of this book (Part II,
"Learning to Use Your Macintosh Classic"). There you will find specific
instructions on how to proceed.
USING YOUR CLASSIC-CHAPTER 2
Taking the Tour
To start your Macintosh training, you'll use the Macintosh Basics disk, which
came with your computer.
The Macintosh Basics disk contains training on the essential skills you need
to master to use the Macintosh. The "tour" of the Macintosh provided on this
disk will guide you step-by-step through the learning process.
In a moment you will be instructed to begin the tour on the Macintosh Basics
disk. Before you do that, however, you should note that the next couple of
pages contain instructions that tell you what to do when you've finished the
tour. If you have a bookmark or a sheet of paper, put it in the book on the
page with the section called "After You Finish the Tour." That way you'll
know where to turn when you've finished the training on the Macintosh Basics
disk.
When you've marked the page to return to, follow the instructions in the next
section to get started with your tour.
Starting the tour
You'll need to start the tour with your computer turned off. If your computer
is on (if you see anything on the screen), press the bottom of the on/off
switch now to turn it off. (The on/off switch is on the back of the
computer.)
1. Insert the Macintosh Basics disk into the disk drive, metal end first,
label side up. Slide the disk all the way into the drive.
2. Switch on the computer by pressing the top of the on/off switch on the
back.
A beep lets you know the computer has started, and in a few moments you see a
display welcoming you to the Macintosh Basics tour. Just follow the
instructions you see on the screen. They will tell you how to use the tour
and how to quit the tour when you have finished it. Return to this page and
continue reading when you are finished taking the tour.
After you finish the tour
When you have completed the training on the Macintosh Basics disk, you are
ready to complete your Macintosh training by reading the remaining chapters
in Part II. These chapters provide a brief review of the skills you learned
on the tour disk, and they provide you with practice using the Macintosh to
create, edit, save, organize, and print documents of your own.
Continue now by turning to the next chapter: Chapter 3, "Basic Macintosh
