16 Chapter 2 Getting to Know Your eMac
Learning About Mac OS X
Your computer comes with Mac OS X and features Classic, an environment for using
Mac OS 9 applications while the computer is running Mac OS X.
Note: Mac OS 9 cannot be installed as the primary operating system on your eMac.
Mac OS X features include an elegant user interface, advanced graphics capabilities,
and added system stability and performance.
When you’re ready to learn more about Mac OS X and the applications that came with
your computer, see the Welcome to Panther booklet that came with your eMac. Also
open Mac OS Help and browse the information there. You’ll find plenty of information
for new users, experienced users, and people switching to the Mac. If you experience
any problems while using Mac OS X, see the troubleshooting tips in the back of this
book or choose Help > Mac Help from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
For information about the compatibility of software applications with Mac OS X, or to
