Feel free to make changes and experiment with the following:
 Appearance: Select this preference pane to change the colors of buttons, menus,
windows, and highlight colors, among other options.
 Desktop & Screen Saver: Select this preference pane to change the background color

choose an eye-catching screen effect that will appear on your screen when the
computer is left idle.
 Dock: Select this preference pane to change the look, location, and behavior of
your Dock.
As you get to know your computer, explore the other System Preferences. It is your
command center for most settings on your PowerBook. For more information, choose
Help > Mac Help from the menu bar and search for “System Preferences” or for the
specific preference pane you want to change.
Note: Because Apple frequently releases new versions and updates to its system
software, applications, and Internet sites, images shown in this book may be slightly
different from what you see on your screen.
Using Applications
Your PowerBook comes with software applications, including the iLife suite of
applications, for doing things like sending email, surfing the Internet, chatting online,
organizing music and digital photos, making movies, and much more. For more
information on these applications, see the Mac OS X manual that came with your
computer.
Connecting to a Printer
To use a printer with your PowerBook, follow the instructions that came with the
printer to install required software and connect the printer. Note that drivers for most
printers are built into Mac OS X, so you may find it unnecessary to install additional
software.
Many printers connect via a USB cable; others are accessed via a network connection,
such as Ethernet. For more information about your USB ports, see “Universal Serial Bus
(USB)” on page 34. For more information about a network or wireless connection, see
“Ethernet (10/100Base-T)” on page 41 and “AirPort Extreme Wireless Networking and
Internet Access” on page 40.
