Apple PowerBook G3 - Manual (Page 13)

Trouble? If a problem with the computer prevents you from using the Power
key or choosing Restart—for example, if the computer “freezes” so that the
pointer does not respond to the trackpad—you can restart the computer by
pressing the Command (x), Control, and Power keys simultaneously.
If the computer doesn’t restart, press the reset button (marked with an I) on
the back of the computer. (If the computer is on but “frozen,” pressing the
reset button will turn off the computer. You will then need to press the Power
key to turn it on.) Use this method only if you cannot choose Shut Down or
Restart from the dialog box that appears when you press the Power key, or if
you cannot choose either command from the Special menu.
What’s next?
You’ve now finished setting up your Macintosh PowerBook. Continue with
one of the following steps:
m If you are new to the Macintosh, use the online information provided on
your PowerBook to learn more about using your computer.
To begin, use the Mac OS Setup Assistant that automatically opens on your
screen to enter some basic information, such as your name and
organization, the date, time, and time zone, and your preference for a
simplified interface or the standard Mac OS interface. To advance through
the Setup Assistant, click the forward or back arrow in the lower-right part
of the window. (Move your finger on the trackpad to move the arrow on
the screen until the tip of the pointer is on the forward or back arrow and
press the trackpad button once.) You can leave Mac OS Setup Assistant any
time by clicking the close box (at the upper-left corner of the window) and
clicking Quit in the message that appears.
After you’ve used the Mac OS Setup Assistant, locate the Help menu at the
top of the screen. (Move your finger on the trackpad to move the arrow on
the screen until the tip of the pointer is on “Help.” Press and hold down the
trackpad button and move the arrow downward until the word “Help” is
highlighted, then release the trackpad button). When the Mac OS Help
window opens, move the arrow to “Learning the Basics” at the top of the
list of topics. Then move the arrow to “OK” at the bottom right of the
window and press the trackpad button once.
