Preferences for the Mac
Presenter Bob Snow
Monday Sept 15th @ 6:00 PM @ SBC
Do you have a good idea what Preferences do for your computer?
Bob Snow will give you an overview on the Mac's three types of
preferences, the Finder preferences, individual application
preferences and the "system preferences" for the Mac Operating
Systems 10.5 and 1-.4.
He will give you an explanation and some demonstrations of
how system preferences can change your computer to fit your
personality and show you how to set up certain service to your
liking. Most of the presentation will focus on the System
Preferences.
Your System Preferences look like this:
Find System preferences are under the Apple in the upper left
hand corner of your screen/desktop.
