Your computer has several application programs already installed, as well as
some applications that you must install before you can use them. The
applications that come with your computer include
m AppleScript, which allows you to automate any actions you perform
repeatedly on your Macintosh
m PowerTalk, which provides built-in mail and collaboration services (for use
only with networks)
m QuickDraw GX, which gives your computer more powerful printing
capabilities
m Apple Video Player, which you use to watch video or TV on your computer
m QuickDraw 3D, which gives your computer the ability to display graphics
in three dimensions
m PlainTalk, which allows your computer to understand spoken commands in
English and Mexican Spanish
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: To conserve memory, 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 memory. See “Increasing Memory Available to Run Applications” later
in this chapter for instructions on “uninstalling” applications.
