Your computer has several application programs already installed. Some of
these applications are
m AppleScript, which allows you to automate any actions you perform
repeatedly on your Macintosh
m AppleCD Audio Player, which allows you to play audio CD-ROM discs in
your computer’s CD-ROM drive
m Network Software Selector, which allows you to switch among various
network types such as Ethernet and LocalTalk
m SimpleText, which allows you to create and edit text files, record and play
sound, and have the computer read text aloud
Yo u ’ ll find these as well as other applications in the Apple Extras folder on
your hard disk. To find out if an application needs to be installed, look inside
the application’s folder for an icon labeled Installer. If you find an Installer
icon and want to use that application, double-click the Installer and follow the
instructions on the screen.
Tip: Some of these applications can decrease the amount of random-access
memory (RAM) available for use by other applications. To conserve RAM,
only install the applications you think you’ll use. If you install an application
that you find you don’t use, you can remove it later to free RAM. See
“Increasing Memory Available to Run Applications” later in this chapter for
instructions on “uninstalling” applications.
