In This Chapter
On the other hand, any true Macintosh power user will tell you that the keyboard is still a useful piece of hardware. Because I want you to be a bona fide, well-rounded OS X power user, I also demonstrate the key combinations that can save you time, effort, and possible tennis elbow from all that mouse-wrangling.
Finally, I lead you through the basic training that you need to run your programs: how to start them, how to open and save documents, and how to quit an application as gracefully as Fred Astaire on his best day.
✓ Restarting, sleeping, and shutting down OS XAs the folks in Cupertino will tell you, “It’s all about the graphics.” And they’re right, of course. OS X is a highly visual operating system, and using it without a mouse, trackball, or trackpad is like building Hoover Dam with a pocketknife. (And not a particularly sharp pocketknife, either.) Therefore, most of this chapter requires you to firmly grasp the little rodent, roll the ball, or finesse a trackpad. I introduce you to little graphical bits such as icons and menus, and you discover how to open windows that can display anything from the contents of a document to the contents of your hard drive.
✓ Using windows
✓ Using menus
✓ Recognizing and selecting icons
✓ Using the keyboard
✓ Running applications
✓ Switching between programs
✓ Opening, saving, and quitting an application
