This is very important when it comes to
using your keyboard and mouse. Be sure that your forearms are parallel to the desktop
to keep from placing too much strain on your wrists, elbows, neck, and back.
If you really want to get the skinny on proper posture, check out www.ergonomics.org for
more information on the subject than I ever knew existed (see Chapter 5 first for help with
connecting your Mac to the Internet).
Start It Up!
Let??™s get the ball rolling, already! Turning on your Mac for the first time requires knowledge of
only one thing: where the power button is, of course. If you have an iMac, the power button is
located on the left rear panel of the monitor. The Mac mini??™s power button is on the back of the
unit, and the MacBook??™s is found above the right side of the keypad. Just push the power button
and away you go.
Use the Setup Assistant
When you turn your Mac on for the very first time, you are greeted in several languages before
being presented with the Setup Assistant. Apple provided the Setup Assistant to make it easy for
a Mac newbie to set up a user account, set the computer??™s time, register their product, and perform
several other tasks that get your Mac ready to go as quickly and simply as possible.
