| Double-clicking on a Mac document automatically opens the application that created it -- no matter where the app is on your hard disk, your network or your server, no matter what that document is named1 |
| You can transfer an application from one Mac to another simply by copying it -- and it will usually work perfectly. And you can transfer a file from any Mac to any other Mac -- even from 1989's System 6 to today's OS 9 -- without the file name changing. |
| You can drag an "alias" (akin to a Windows "shortcut") into any folder or window -- anywhere on your hard drive -- and it will still work, pointing to its intended file. |
| You can perform a clean installation of the Mac OS without erasing any other contents of your hard drive. |
| You can change the icon of any object on your Mac desktop -- file, folder or hard drive -- by copying and pasting. |
| You can rename your Mac's hard drive simply by highlighting the icon and typing in the new name. |
| When you insert a floppy or removable disk into a Mac, its icon appears on the desktop. If you eject the disk, the Mac indicates that it has been removed. And if you then try to read from or save to it, the Mac will tell you to reinsert it. |
| You can use the characters /, ? and " in a Macintosh file name (e.g. Inventory/July, Current?, "cool stuff") |
| When you drag numerous folders and their files to the trash, the Mac maintains their hierarchies until they are deleted. |
| To facilitate troubleshooting, you can start a Mac with a "known good" base-level system, or even with all system extensions off. |
