Welcome! 
Who should read this free online Mac OS X Tutorial?
- you've just bought a Mac

This Apple Macintosh Tutorial has been updated until Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger). Updates will come and go on an irregular time-schedule. To categorize the huge amount of information, I've colored some sections:
Plain text: suitable for beginners
Text in a blue section = SWITCH TIP especially for Switchers (users who choose to switch from the MS Windows to the Mac OS X operating system)
Text in an orange section = TIPS (absolute beginners should skip these at first)
Text in a red section = WARNING (important to all Mac users)
Text in a green section = BACKUP TIP (important to all Mac users)
In case you are a totally newbie to the Mac, it's best to use the small orange triangles at the end of every Chapter to lead you through this tutorial.
