ibook - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Frenchie · 07-19-2004, 07:26 PM

I just bought the ibook and have it now... but it's really weird. I mean, totally different from the PC and all. But anyway. Can someone tell me about the iBook, things that I can do with it...
And one thing I want to know... does it have a menu bar? Like the PC... does it have games?

Thanks-

You may want to look into a book called
" Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Second Edition"

it will get you started from zero and is available at barnes and noble and amazon.com

the ibook is a great machine... i have one too.. and i love it.... as far as a menu bar it has a dock... which is kinda like a menu bar... also it has the bar at the top which is also a type of menu bar... my advice to you would be to vist the apple.com website and maybe cheeck out there support forums they are always really helpful there..

as far as gaming goes... MACs aren't really built for gaming if you want to game you should have boughten a PC. Macs are more for production: audio production video production web production image production etc....

some really cool things about the ibook are well just the OS on it is awsome OS X is (in my opinion) one of the best OS's around! it has everything i mean speech commands and the dock is the coolest thing ever

if you have any specific questions about the ibook please pm me

BTW, Macs have games. It has almost all of the big time games along with some lame ones. think of it as cream of the crop gaming. And thanks to the major marketing push from Apple, most games are coming out 1 month or so from the PC version, or with.

As for what it can do? Anything, really. It interfaces with my buddy's Linux laptop wonderfully, my wife's Wintell box and I don't have to force my computer do do things that its programmers did not think that I, a "user", should need to do.

If you want help further, I recommend going to major mac forums, i hear that MacAddict has some newbie forums that are good, and get all the info that you need.
